sorry jam i wasn't giving the an explanation of the term ping... i was letting minimonaro know that if he's looking fot mickmini he could PM him.... it's what it's for. ;)

and a ping is what one computer on a network does to see if another computer is there...

the source sends some data (pings) the ip of the target pc and then the target will send a response ("pong") back...

if you want to try it.. use the start menu->Run and type ping 127.0.0.1

that will ping your own computer..

</NERD FEST> hey... it is geek week

Location: Sydney - strangely, I am glad of the sight of hills!!
PM sent 8)

PING used to be used to identify the node or computer that sent a data message to you as well. No idea why it was PING.

The term `ping' comes from sonar useage, I think- subs would send sonar signal and a `ping' received meant some bastard was there.. probably an enemy. :shock:
