Ping and trace info

Having some difficulty with the ping and trace utility.

When I pig I get this:

TheDieselStop.Com Ping

Ping Results For: 205.200.58.47


PING 205.200.58.47 (205.200.58.47): 56 data bytes

--- 205.200.58.47 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

Done!

When I trace it never finish's it just sits in limbo, this is on a brand new computer on dialup connected at 44+BPS, thanks for any help.

It is working for me. If you are running a firewall you will have to disable it while ruining the utilities.

Just for S&G's go to www.geektools.com select "traceroute"
They have a SL of sites that you can ping & trace with.

Well if you can't see www.thedieselstop.com how are you posting? If you can get to the website you can ping it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]



I dunno why you're getting no ping returns but you should be. Maybe some of your firewall is still up or do you have two of them...?

Nortons is my firewall and it was disabled, I ran Geektools got a trace no ping so.......I will not bother any more, so thanks for the assistance guys.

XP has a built in firewall, make sure that is not enabled. It's through the network properties somewhere. Just a thought...

Pete, Jason may have something on his end that prevents a Ping from functioning. It has become a popular thing since denial of service attacks. Many servers on the internet no longer respond to a ping.

Seems to be working here...

This is from the command prompt

D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ping www.thedieselstop.com

This could be several things. Ping is blocked by some ISPs as this was used as a discovery tool by some of the worms like Code Red, Nimda and more recently Welchia. Also, being behind a router can interfere with ping depending on the router and software release its running on.

I wouldn't be too concerned. If you can reach the web site, you've eliminated routing as a source of difficulty. Only other value Ping would have is quantifying packet loss.
