Ping-ing Tutorial For Noobs by Supersonicdarky on 04-10-2005 at 07:40 PM

This is a "sounds.msgplus.net" ping-ing tutorial for noobs to test if they can connect to it :)

1. Press Start, then click Run

2. Type in cmd.exe if you are using XP and command.com if you are using something other than XP in the Run box

6. If Request timed out or Destination Host unreachable has showed up instead, there is most likely a problem with your firewall or ISP

On any non NT based system its command.com not cmd.exe afik

I don't see the point in this but eh...

Addition:
For all non-NT versions of Windows (eg. Windows 95/98 (SE)/ME):

Step 2: Type "command" instead of "cmd"


Edit: Bah Madman was faster than me :refuck:

Btw, NT-Systems are Windows XP, Windows 200 (and Longhorn, I guess)

But, command.com works on both systems, and cmd.exe only works on NT systems so :P
