Hi Jackie, Average 44 here to Skynet.co.uk on their supposed 2MB broadband connection. George. ________________________________ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie Cairns Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 9:56 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: using Ping and Tracert Cheers George. Nice to think I'm too young for DOS (smile). I can remember a lot of commands, but goodness me I had to think hard what to do (laugh). Anyway, the upshot is that the Ping is about 80, which is fairly high. It would be helpful if others could try this out to see what their average is with their ISP. Many thanks.

From the Command Prompt, type ping 192.168.1.1 >c:\pingtest.txt where the numbers are the IP address, c colon backslash is whatever disk drive you want to keep it on, and pingtest.txt is whatever filename you want. George. ________________________________ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie Cairns Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 9:29 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: using Ping and Tracert Hi Graham Regarding Ping, how do I save the contents of what it reports please? It is coming up with a load of numbers that I don't understand at all. This is out of my league (smile). Takes you back though going to a command prompt and typing in things like cd\ and exit to get out (laughs).

Have found this page for starters on using Ping and Tracert. Some of the values, particularly for pinging a distant computer look a bit low but the way the commands work and what they do is well explained.
