Solve : Ping Command Crashing DOS? |
|
Answer» Quote from: H2O on July 11, 2011, 11:38:02 PM Also Linux, I tried to upload my pingpath and ping files but they weren't accepted by the site. Any ideas? Open in Notepad and copy and paste into a forum post. That's what most people do. I'm not exactly sure how to run it under 32-bit actually, and if Somebody knows then feel free to share. That time was for a picture but if I even just run the "ping" it closes. It even closes if I enter in "ping /?" which I find even more unnerving.

(32-bit command prompt is cmd.exe; 16-bit is command.com. Salmon Trout already answered that question in an earlier post.) Also, what is a "pingpath" file?Thanks for clearing that up. I believe I will need to order a new disc as I haven't seen mine for over seven years I really don't know what pingpath is exactly. I did a search for "ping" on my system32 folder to find and run it from system32 as you recommended. It brought up my ping command as expected but also pingpath as well, which I thought seemed important. When I opened it, the same thing happens as when I ran ping- command box, randomness, TERMINATE. I'm thinking it's some outdated type of file associated with ping that might have become obsolete in newer models. If nobody else has it though I'll be a little suspicious.Quote from: BC_Programmer on July 12, 2011, 06:11:38 PM your ping.exe file is corrupted. use sfc /scannow or a Repair install with the windows disc handy. He means PathPing, I'm pretty sure, which is a network utility supplied in Windows NT and beyond that combines the functionality of ping with that of tracert, with additional information that neither of those tools provides. PathPing sends packets to each router on the way to a final destination over a period of time, and then computes results based on the packets returned from each hop. Since PathPing shows the degree of packet loss at any given router or link, you can pinpoint which routers or links might be causing network problems. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc958876.aspx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PathPing Example (My IP obfuscated): Code: [Select]C:\Users\Salmon>pingpath 'pingpath' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or BATCH file.

C:\Users\Salmon> Thank you once again Salmon. I appreciate your zeal in this forum. I just tried the PathPing command out on my computer and I'm please that it works just fine. I visited the links and it appears that PathPing can do what Ping does, but better (although it takes a bit longer). Would it make a difference if I forgot about Ping and use PathPing instead?Quote from: H2O on July 13, 2011, 08:46:44 PM Thank you once again Salmon. I appreciate your zeal in this forum.

I suggest you try both and SEE which one suits you best. |
