Keeping your finger on the network pulse - IPConfig, PING, TRACERT

Keeping your finger on the network pulse

Windows 9 x and Windows 2000 include a number of network monitoring and diagnostics tools that are used to troubleshoot and isolate network problems that directly affect a single PC. Here are the ones you should know for the exams:

l IPConfig (IP Configuration): This command line utility displays the current configuration for a PC connected to a TCP/IP network.

l PING (Packet Internet Groper): This Internet utility is used to determine whether an IP address is online or reachable. Either an IP address or a domain name can be pinged over a network.


l TRACERT (Trace Route): This TCP/IP utility is used to determine the path in use between one network point and another and if any problems exist along that path.
