Message

Description

 

 

 

 

Resolving host name

Finding the IP address for the domain name-style address

 

 

Can’t resolve host name

IP address can’t be found for the domain name–style name

 

 

Pinging

Ping test is in progress

 

 

Complete

Ping test was completed

 

 

Cancelled by user

Ping test was cancelled manually

 

 

Destination unreachable from

Ping test was able to reach the router with IP address w.x.y.z, which

w.x.y.z

reported that the test could not reach the final destination

 

 

Couldn’t allocate packet buffer

Couldn’t proceed with Ping test; try again or reset system

 

 

Couldn’t open ICMP port

Couldn’t proceed with Ping test; try again or reset system

 

 

Packets Out: The number of packets sent by the Ping test.

Packets In: The number of return packets received from the target host. To be considered “on time,” return packets are expected back before the next packet in the sequence of Ping packets is sent. A count of the number of late packets appears in parentheses to the right of the Packets In count.

In the example that follows, a Netopia D-Series is sending Ping packets to another host, which responds with return Ping packets. Note that the second return Ping packet is considered to be late because it is not received by the Netopia D-Series before the third Ping packet is sent. The first and third return Ping packets are on time.
