Hello to the forum
I just installed the ip tools v2.40 a few minutes ago. I think its a very usefull tools and it can give you a lot of details about your network.
Although the ping command doesn't work.
I read on an article that
"if you have a different IP stack, without icmp.dll, traceroute and ping will fail, but everything else should work and thats exaclty what happening.
If a ping a host from the programe i get a no reply answer but if i use the command prompt and ping the same host it works.

ANy advice ?

Actually this forum for HostMonitor. IP-Tools' forum below...
Anyway, do you see any error/warning messages at startup?
What Windows do you use? Service Pack?

i downloaded the ip tools software and i experience exatcly the sample problem
I get no reply on the ping service
i work on winxp sp2 and i am behind a software firewall
no errors when i launch the programe
please keep focus on these sentse
Thesse must have something to do with
"if you have a different IP stack, without icmp.dll, traceroute and ping will fail, but everything else should work"
Thanks for u replays

Where do you see this phrase?
Its true, but:
- if system does not have ICMP.DLL, IP-Tools will display error message at startup
- Windows XP professional SP2 has ICMP.DLL and IP-Tools works fine on XP SP2
Probably your system has ICMP.DLL but it does not really works (stub module)?

Questions:
- are you using Windows XP Professional? Or XP Home?
- do you have "different IP stack"? not from Microsoft?

BTW: XP Home does not have many functions that provided by "normal" Windows. We never tested IP-Tools on XP Home and we will not support this platform.

May be some router does pass small echo packets but does not pass larger packets? Or may be timeout too short?
Could you try to use different Ping/Trace settings (Options dialog)? Try to ping different site.

If you have normal Windows winsock, its working.
I don't know why you said about some "different IP stack" Why?

I think i can help you solving this problem.

- First rightclick your network connection
- than properties
- go to the advanced tab
- click on settings
- also to the advanced tab
- at the ICMP area click on settings
- check the first checkbox... allow echos...
- thats it...

Björn
