System Information

Testing Your Network

The Net Tools tab of the System Info dialog enables you to perform various operations to test your network and discover IP addresses or hostnames.

 

The basic procedure is to select the tool you want to use, specify any

 

required settings, specify the host (hostname or IP address) to which

 

it is to apply, then click the Start Process button. The result of the

 

test will be logged and displayed in the central window. You can

 

stop the process at any time by clicking the Stop Process button

 

(which replaces the Start Process button). The contents of the log

 

can be cleared by clicking the Clear Log button. Note that the options

 

available in the dialog depend on the tool selected.

The Ping Tool

The Ping tool will cause an icmp request to be sent to the machine

 

specified by Target Host. Checking the Display address numerically

 

option will cause the actual IP address to be displayed when you

 

enter a hostname in the Target Host field.
