Re: Pinging

If I type:
Ping talk.techstocks.com

I get (roughly):


Ping - Ping.cfg
-----------------------
File Start Settings Help

The time is how long it takes for your computer to access a particular site on the web and then receive the signal back. Yes, the lower the time the better. As you can see, my display shows me I was able to complete a return trip to SI with no problems. I suspect somewhere on your computer is a help file for "ping".
