Or in other words, how do I check proper TCP/IP communication between two computers when I know which port is going to be used and when I'm not sure that it is not blocked?<BR><BR>TIA,<BR><BR>Prog.
Ping has no knowledge of ports per se. Ports, which are a layer 4 phenomenon, cannot be tested with ICMP. If you want to see if a port is active, you can telnet to the box on the given port.
