Pinging the OpenVMS Server - TCP/IP

Complete the following procedure to ping (verify communications) between your CONNX administrator computer and an OpenVMS server on a TCP/IP network.

To verify the TCP/IP network connection with the OpenVMS server

  1. 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.

  1. 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
