5 Using the Network Test Tools

This chapter contains information on using the Network test tools available on the thin client.

Ping (Packet InterNet Groper) and Trace Route can be used for checking the integrity of the network connection (ping also checks the usability of the network configuration and the availability of all equipment required to communicate between the thin client and the ping destination). These tools can be accessed from the Network Test submenu of the Desktop menu (generally, ping and Trace Route are used for system diagnostics by, or under the direction of, a network administrator).

Using Ping

The ping dialog box executes the ping diagnostic utility and displays response messages. Ping is a diagnostic tool that sends an echo request to a network host. The host parameter is either a valid host name or an IP address. If the host is operational and on the network, it responds to the echo request. By default, echo requests are sent until interrupted (by clicking Stop in the ping dialog box). The ping utility sends one echo request per second and calculates round trip times and packet loss statistics, and displays a brief summary upon completion of the calculation.

The ping utility can be used to:

Determine the status of the network and various foreign hosts

Track and isolate hardware and software problems

Test, measure, and manage networks

Determine the IP address of a host if only the hostname is known

Note

Not all network equipment will respond to ping packets, since this is a common mechanism used in denial-of-service attacks. Lack of response does not necessarily indicate that the target of the ping is unusable for other purposes.
