Re: Verify network connection from i

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