In fact my LAN guy is back to day and has said he can give you direct access. Can you tell me your outbound IP address, that will connect to it?

So if someone has access to such a system then please send us a network trace of a "connection" to it. (ethereal or netmon) Dirk Bulinckx. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2007 4:26 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] Checking Telnet response A two part telnet question. I have a Galleon NTP server, which I want to check using Telnet. When you connect to it via telnet, it responds with the following: NTP Server Synchronised to GPS 2007/07/03 14:10:37 (Obviously the date/time stamp changes) My first thought was to use a custom TCP protocol check, using the "Packet to receive on connect" field. However, that check seems only to return "NTP Server" (i.e. the first line of the response - it's actually the second line that is the critical one). Question 1 to Dirk therefore: am I interpreting this behaviour correctly? Is there any way to get the check to see more than the first line? I then tried using the COMTELNET addon. However I'm having intermittent results with this. It seems to take anything between 5 and 15 seconds to do the check (!) and frequently comes up with an error (I think it was error 40006, but of course Gray's law of IT support (nothing will go wrong when you want it to go wrong) means that it won't generate that error now. When it does work, there's nothing in the result box, so I'm not very confident about whether it is actually working correctly. So, 2nd question goes to Michael - any suggestions on this?
