    In a previous tip, it was revealed how to continuously ping a host until stopped. Here are all of the ping options:

    example .. In DOS .. c:>ping 192.168.0.1 -t

    -t Ping the specifed host until interrupted

    -a Resolve addresses to hostnames

    -n count Number of echo requests to send

    -l size Send buffer size

    -f Set Don't Fragment flag in packet

    -i TTL Time To Live

     -v TOS Type Of Service

    -r count Record route for count hops

    -s count Timestamp for count hops

    -j host-list Loose source route along host-list

    -k host-list Strict source route along host-list

    -w timeout Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply

    Experiment to see how helpful these can be!
