if you want timestamps easy, youse fping.exe. I use it all the time when I need to log pings versus time date for WAN issues. Works really well. JR

Are they anything like the timestamps returned by the BSD flavor of "ping -M"? I've googled a fair bit and just come up with scripts using ping and echo, etc., to write timestamps to a file, which isn't what I'm after. I ask, because I'm pinging a machine across an IPSec tunnel that collapses and recovers occasionally, and am trying to figure out why - I though this might be useful. However, the timestamps are a bit confusing. See the example return below: I ping from a machine on the 192.1068.1.0/24 subnet, the DG is 192.168.10.1. The target is 192.168.61.38, and the host at 203.143.xx.yy is the firewall in our AU office (I also don't know how it extracts the external IP address of the firewall from a ping crossing the tunnel). Reply from 192.168.61.38: bytes=32 time=200ms TTL=127 Timestamp: 192.168.10.1 : 71831314 -> 192.168.8.13 : 71821027 -> 203.143.xx.yy : 35646863 -> 192.168.61.38 : 71797297 Note that the time stamp from the host at 203.143.xx.yy is significantly different from the other timestamps.
