Besttechie Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I happen to really like tracert. Which traces an ip back to where it is located. This is what you would type:In the command propmt:tracert puttheiphereEnterThat's all you have to do.B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I like using the ping command to test my network connection.For example at the prompt type: ping yahoo.comThen you'll see if you're on-line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nerelda Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 ok, so I'm a little off topic with this one, but I just have to comment that I like the Linux "finger" command. We got a good laugh out of that one in class. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcl Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 ok, so I'm a little off topic with this one, but I just have to comment that I like the Linux "finger" command. We got a good laugh out of that one in class. Ah yes, the source of a beloved but long obsolete phrase I've had stuck in my head for years."finger me for my public key"(ObHistory: finger is much older than Linux. It was first implemented on WAITS (or maybe TENEX) in 1971.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
