I have set up several Windows machines connected to a Linux box running
diald.
If the Linux box has not dialed into the ISP, and I ping a site on the
Internet (from the Linux box), ping will fail until the dial up
connection is completed, then it will successfully start pinging the
site. During this period, I will not stop and restart the ping program,
I just let it run and it (after getting dialed up) starts pinging the
target
If the Linux box has not dialed into the ISP, and I ping a site on the
Internet from one of the Windows machines, it will continue to fail even
after the connection is made. The only way it will start to succeed is
I stop the ping program and restart it. Then it will ping the target
system.
What gives????
I am trying to use ping as part of a batch file to check and see when
the connection has been made before starting a telnet session.
