IPXPING
Purpose
Use at the server console to check connectivity to an IPX
TM
server on your
internetwork.
Syntax
[LOAD] IPXPING
Using IPXPING
 IPXPING sends an IPX ping request packet to an IPX target node (server
or workstation). When the target node receives the request packet, it sends
back a reply packet.
 To select an IPX server or workstation, enter its IPX internal network
number and node number.
You can also specify the number of seconds between each request packet
transmission.
 To start sending request packets, press Esc. The sending node continues
to send request packets and collect response time statistics until you press
Esc again to exit IPXPING.
 Request and reply packets use the same format; each packet contains the
standard IPX header.
 To add other nodes, press Insert and select another server.
