[access-uk] Re: using Ping and Tracert

see previous message where I gave a website explaining some of what it is about. Basically, Ping and Tracert are commands that can be used to start finding out about bottlenecks in internet performance. In Jackie's case she was having problems with various models of Internet radio and the question arose as to whether Sky had higher than average ping times. 

Cheers

Graham

Hi Jackie,

Average 44 here to Skynet.co.uk on their supposed 2MB
broadband connection.

George.

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.

Jackie

Hi Jackie,

I guess you are too young to remember DOS commands!

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.

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).

OK all.

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.

Cheers

Graham
