Just how does one go about "pinging," a computer? And what information does
one receive from "pinging" and what does one do with it to accomplish what?
Really appreciate any replies. I love this list. I know a fair amount about
Macs, but there are holes...especially when it comes to networking.
Thanks, Kathi
