O.P. Ping-ing Tutorial For Noobs
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

3. A black window should've opened up which looks similiar to this:

4. Type in "ping sounds.msgplus.net"

5. Hit Enter on your keyboard and wait until the following has showed up

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

(for mods: can you make this a stiky?)

RE: Ping-ing Tutorial For Noobs
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
