Need to check the connectivity of other sun systems, i.e

Ping can be thought of as a "generic" command.

It exists in every Operating Environment worthy to be called an OS.

In Solaris, there are man pages for it, as well.

In Microsoft's Win9x through WinXP, just open a command prompt window and use the command.

Also:

<b>traceroute</b> (in *nix systems where a command name can be longer than eight characters)

<b>tracert</b> (in MS systems; left over from 8-character maximum lengths)

nslookup, ftp, telnet, share ...

in the newer WinOS's, there's even a ping6 command for IPV6 situations.

When in doubt, open a terminal window or whatever may be the equivalent in the OS-du-jour and just run the command.

See what happens.
