Using Roaming Profiles
You can participate in domains by writing roaming profiles to the C drive. The profiles must
be limited in size and will not be retained when the thin client is restarted.
Note
For successful downloading and proper functioning, there must be sufficient
flash space available for roaming profiles. In some cases it may be
necessary to remove software components to free space for roaming
profiles.
Using the WinPing Diagnostic Utility
WinPing is used to launch the Windows PING (Packet InterNet Groper) diagnostic utility
and view the results from pinging. To open the WinPing window, click Start | Run, enter
WinPing in the text box, and click OK.
Figure 37 WinPing
WinPing is a diagnostic tool that sends an echo request to a network host. The host
parameter is either a valid host name or an IP address. If the host is operational and on
the network, it responds to the echo request. The default is to send 5 echo requests and
then stop if no response is detected. WinPing sends one echo request per second,
calculates round trip times and packet loss statistics, and displays a brief summary upon
completion.
WinPing is used to:
• Determine the status of the network and various hosts.
• Track and isolate hardware and software problems.
• Test, measure, and manage networks.
• Determine the IP address of a host if only the host name is known.
Using the Net and Tracert Utilities
Net and Tracert utilities are available for administrative use (for example, to determine the
route taken by packets across an IP network). For more information on these utilities, go
