| Hello,I'd like to know how to ping remote SQL server (2000). I can connect to it via Sql Query Analyzer and it works ok (server name is IP and SQL Server Authentication).But sometimes the connection is broken, so i would like to ping it somehow, to see when and for how long this happens. If I write to cmd 'ping -n 100000 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' it has 100% loss. Should I ping server's port also?Thanks in advance,Simon |

| I can also connect to it through Remote Desktop, but still no ping.Maybe I could use some asp script or something to ping this server and save data for analyses? |

| You can't ping a port as ping and TCP operate at different layers.telnet <IP><port> will be a better option in this case.Thanks & Best Regards,Krishna |
