Vista - Ping -i ttl

doobybug · 01-24-2009

Hi guys,

I am new to this pinging thingy and would appreciate any help. I have an assignment that states that I should use the ping -i [ttl] [hostname], with an initial TTL of 1 and then increment it each time. When I do this I should have a list of the IP addresses of all the devices that have sent expired TTL messages. However when I do this I receive only Request Time out, one line after the other. Is it some setting?

a firewall could be blocking the ping from reaching the addresses, try and disable your firewall software temporarily until you have tried the ping then re-enable it after
