Complete the following procedure to ping (verify communications) between your CONNX administrator computer and an OpenVMS server on a TCP/IP network.
Click Start on the taskbar, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type the following:
cmd
and then click the OK button. The command window appears with a command prompt.
After the command prompt (the path may vary and does not matter), type the following:
c:\windows>Ping ServerName
replacing ServerName with the name of your OpenVMS server or the IP address (for example, 123.345.567.0), and then press <Enter>.
The ping results for successful communications are as follows:
c:\windows>Ping machine1 Pinging machine1.com [32.333.333.333] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 32.333.333.333: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=255 Reply from 32.333.333.333: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=255 Reply from 32.333.333.333: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=255 Reply from 32.333.333.333: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=255 c:\windows>
Refer all network problems to your network administrator for resolution.
Close the command window.
