ICMP = Internet Control Message Protocol
Its the protocol used to send error and control messages. Check out RFC 792
for more info. Ping uses icmp for example to check if a host is alive or
not.

Mark,
What is ICMP? The router was set up by someone else; or perhaps even
preconfigured like that when we got it. I know for certain that no one here
has any experience with Cisco routers (which is what we have) and therefore
cannot diagnose anything like what you're talking about.

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to
scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints &
how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more
servers.
