>>I thought you said you do 1000 pings. How do you do that? c:\> ping -c 1000 target.com If you don't want to watch it, you can redirect output to a file, then edit the file and jump to the end to see the statistics: c:\> ping -c 1000 target.com >pinglist 1000 pings may be a little overkill. Try 200-300 for starters to identify if you have a chronic dropped packet problem. If you do decide to watch it, I recommend for your listening pleasure 'Echoes' from side 2 of Pink Floyd's 'Meddle' album. <g>

More pinging-ing-ing-ing Peter Michaelson wonders "I know how to run ping.exe. I was looking for enhanced features." I don't know about the ping that comes with Windows 95, but I just experimented with the the Windows NT ones, and you can get an option breakout by trying ping -? and tracert -? There doesn't seem to be a good way to just do a thousand pings, and calculate the average... perhaps the options available on unix systems are different. The options I find on Win NT are different from those used by David Lawrence in the previous post! Your software may vary. For Win NT 4.0 the -n option gives the count, and there isn't any summary at the end. Hope this helps, Dick
