RouteFinder Monitor

If you are having problems, the RouteFinder Monitor can be a valuable tool to assist in troubleshooting. Additional troubleshooting information is available through the on-line help screens. Refer to Chapter 6 for more information about using the RouteFinder monitor.

PING

Ping is an acronym for Packet Internet Groper. The PING utility is used as a diagnostic tool to determine if a communication path exists between two devices on the network. The utility sends a packet to the specified address and then waits for a reply. PING is used primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections, but it can be used to test the connection between any devices using the TCP/IP protocol.

WINIPCFG and IPCONFIG

There are two tools which are helpful in finding a computer’s IP configuration, MAC address and default gateway.

WINIPCFG (for Windows 95/98)
