ping a remote server
-
Hi, I need to know whether a remote(in other LAN)host/server is up or down. I can ping any host in my LAN. But when I want to ping any server as for example www.codeproject.com from my pc I get Request timed out message. Thanks in advance. Nayan Kumar Sarkar

Machines can opt to not respond to ICMP requests. If a machine responds to such a request, it is up and running. However, if a machine does not respond to such a request, it could be for a number of reasons.
