If you're un-pinged and un-tracerouted, it's tough, but techniques like the
one you use are good.

Another trick is telnet foo.com 80 (the http port) if it has a web server.

Folks:

This may sound like a dumb question, but what tool or technique do you use
to verify a network connection to another system (internal or external)?

Yes, PING & TRACEROUTE are the obvious answers ... but, in my case, ping &
traceroute are (for whatever reason) blocked (both from the i and my
workstation).

I've tried using wget in qshell (and qp2term), but I get a connection
refused error.

Using wget I am able to retrieve the default index page from an IIS
instance I'm running on my workstation (which is in the same physical
network as the i).

Any ideas?

Thanks!
