when you ping,after a while you get the ping statistics.
Well, DOS ping stops after five pings. Linux ping does not have a limit by default.
My PC doesn't stop pinging so I don't get the results.
Tried to press CTRL+C lately?
tracerouting is no problem.
Also with ping -n I have trouble.
Help,somebody... I know that in MS-DOS the PC pings 4 times,but why in Linux SuSe 7.0 so many times?
If you want ping to just run a certain amount of pings, use "ping -c <amount> <host>" - "man ping" will tell you more.
