Intermittant Server Problems?

On the "Run" menu type "cmd" and press enter. A DOS window will open. Type "tracert" and the domain name of the server you want to trace. What you'll see is the DNS servers that have to be traversed to make the connection to the server. The more hops the longer the response time.

To "ping" a server to see if it's alive open the DOS window as before and type "ping" and the domain name of the server.

And you think I may know what that would be?
And would spell it correctly for DOS to get?
I am less able than you might think.
Thanks.

Well,
I did one but can't show it to you cause I don't know how to make it an image to upload. Plus it is a little Greek to me.

total was 11 though.

I don't know how to make it an image to upload.

Alt + print scr to copy then paste in MS paint.

Microsoft doesn't allow ICMP (the protocol ping and tracert use) traffic in for various reasons.

I didn't know that! I suppose it wouldn't take much to write a script to ping the crapola out of a server in a "Denial of Service" attack!

Apple.com timed out. Sony.com worked. Google.com worked. Netscape.com timed out so obviously not everybody blocks their servers.

My tracert is a little shorter:

C:\>tracert www.cruisersforum.com

Tracing route to cruisersforum.com [208.78.43.226]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 47 ms 46 ms 46 ms 65.14.248.7
2 46 ms 48 ms 47 ms 65.14.249.93
3 46 ms 46 ms 47 ms 205.152.208.14
4 49 ms 46 ms 47 ms pxr00asm-so-3-0-0.bellsouth.net [65.83.236.6]
5 49 ms 48 ms 48 ms ge2-4.br01.atl01.pccwbtn.net [63.216.31.169]
6 49 ms 49 ms 46 ms gnax.ge2-13.br01.atl01.pccwbtn.net [63.216.31.130]
7 48 ms 49 ms 49 ms 72.9.239.150
8 49 ms 47 ms 47 ms 208.78.43.20
9 48 ms 48 ms 48 ms 208.78.43.226

Trace complete.

OK here you go.

Well, maybe not.......

Can you save it as a "jpeg"? This way it'll be smaller in size. MS Paint probably wants to save it as a "bmp" (bitmap) file type which is huge. If that fails e-mail it to me and I'll convert it for you.

[Therapy]

OK.
That took a while.
Whew!

How come the picture is not there?

[knottybuoyz]

Screwey is right! *lol*

Dunno what happened here! This must be a funky computer to do that!!!

[Therapy]

Yea, but how come it did not come up as a picture?

Most web browsers cannot render bitmapped images inline. They must be .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png etc. That's why it showed up as a file attachment.

OK, but the dang list has .bmp on it.
So stupid me.............

But I got an intro to Paint.
I usually put the stuff on Word and then I can't do anything with it after that.
Woo Hoo.......
