You can use TCP/IP (Winsock) to connect to a telnet type device with hyperterminal. However, in order to ping, obviously, you have to be connected to something. If you are connected to a router (or other telnet type device), try running a traceroute to the device you're trying to ping.

[7:56619] When you ping from the DOS prompt you are pinging from your computer to the router , when you ping in hyperterminal you are pinging from the router to your PC (or whatever other devices you have on your network). DOS Prompt (your PC) ---Ping--> router Hyperterminal (router) --- Ping ---> PC If this wasn't what you were referring to, in hyperterminal are you able to ping the router, if not something is wrong on the router setup? Are you able to ping the PC from hyperterminal (i.e. the router)? Are you able to ping the router from DOS? -----Original Message----- From: Greg Macaulay [mailto:gmac115@;cox.net] Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 12:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problems w/Hyperterminal?? [7:56619] Hi all -- I'm suffering thru a terrible newbies type problem and cannot seem to identify the error of my ways. I know it's something very basic -- and it brings back memories of high school geometry homework where I stared at objects for hours on end trying to understand!!! The thrust of my pitiful situation is: I cannot "ping" from hyperterminal -- altho' I can readily "ping" from a DOS prompt on the same PC. I have the parameters set properly 8-N-1-None -- and I have tried with the TFTP server setup on the same PC and on another in my home network (I have 10 pcs in my home network -- most old -- but they still work!). Neither works. Any suggestions. And please don't waste time flaming me -- I know I should be able to figure this out -- but even after researching the archives and CCO, I am no closer to a solution than I am to passing the LAB on the first try!!!!! So any and all helpful suggestions would be welcome. Thanks to all -- in advance!!
