Do you have *ANY* clue how ping works? Ping uses ICMP packets; not TCP, not UDP -- thus there is NO concept of ports. And what does "instead of telnet mean"?? Again, do you have any clue how ping works? To the person that wants to "traceroute http://www.myserver.wherever/", do you have *ANY* clue how traceroute works? You cannnot use a port that something is answering on. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
