Getting Information About the Network
Displaying Connection Information
MESSAGE: Invalid IP address.
CAUSE: An IP address with invalid syntax has been entered in the INFO
string. The correct syntax for an IP address is A.B.C.D — where A , B , C ,
and
D are decimal numbers in the range 0–255.
ACTION: Pass a valid IP address within the INFO string.
MESSAGE: Invalid number of packets. Valid range: 1–65534
CAUSE: An invalid number of packets value has been passed in the INFO
string. A valid input is a decimal number in the range 1–65534.
ACTION: Pass a valid value for the number of packets within the INFO
string, or omit it to choose the default of sending a continuous stream of
packets.
MESSAGE: Invalid number of bytes. Valid range: 0–2048
CAUSE: An invalid number of bytes value has been passed in the INFO
string. A valid input is a decimal number in the range 0–2048.
ACTION: Pass a valid value for the number of bytes within the INFO
string, or omit it to choose the default of 64 bytes.
Networking Errors
MESSAGE: Receive timeout occurred. Shutting Down...
CAUSE: The PING process has not received any response to its requests
for two minutes. It shuts itself down, assuming that the local or the
remote side is inactive.
ACTION: This could indicate that the remote node is unreachable. Also
check if the local node is congested or hung causing the local ICMP
Server not to respond. (The local ICMP Server interacts with PING to
send ICMP Echo Requests to the remote and passes incoming replies to
the right PING/iX process.)
MESSAGE: Cannot contact local ICMP Server. Shutting down...
CAUSE: PING/iX was not able to contact the local ICMP Server.
ACTION: Check if the transport is active. If not, start the transport.
MESSAGE: Server not accepting requests, as it is busy. Please try
later.
CAUSE: Only 15 PING processes can be active at any time. That is, only
15 users can run PING at the same time. Additional users trying to run
PING will get this error message.
ACTION: Wait and try later. One of the other PING processes might have
completed, allowing you to run the program.
