Well, you used to be able to ping microsoft. Now it seems you cannot telnet them either. How do you get out of telnet? The escape sequence that shows up does not seem to work. ---doug On Saturday 31 July 2004 23:12, Jorge Fábregas wrote:

Hi,
I don't think so. ICMP is blocked by many corporate firewalls. Telnet is definetely more reliable for this type of check (checking websites).
telnet hostname 80
and if you get an answer you know it's working.
