Re: Verify network connection from i

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!

I'm riding 615 miles (Yes, you read that right) in the American Diabetes
Association's Tour de Cure to raise money for diabetes research, education,
advocacy, and awareness. You can make a tax deductible donation to my ride

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
