There are alot of posts that explain it better than me but esentially you
have to get the line speed slowed down to around 2000ms. On hypertermial
and you do it under the properties for the program
(FILE=>PROPERTIES=>ASCII-SETUP) (i think) (im not on a machine with HT
right now but then you just paste in a notepad documnet full of pings:

ping 1.1.1.1
ping 2.2.2.2
ping 3.3.3.3

Do it from one window and watch it ping! because its easy to miss the
.... ( like if you start the script and then go to lunch) DOn't get to
fancy and don't go down to 1000ms as suggessted on the list or youll miss
pings. I also don't go to 3000ms becasue if most of the pings work 2000
is fine.

ALOT OF PEOPLE THINK THE PING SCRIPT IS NOT A GOOD INVESTMNET OF TIME. So
you need to evaluate the cost vs. benefit.I have found that in 50% of my
labs it has uncovered nothing very profound at all becasue the naked eye
can spot alot of missing routes but the other 50% of the time it really
has helped. I also suggest you wire the process if you intend on using it
in the lab. I can create the script and push it through 6 routers in 15
minutes.
