Additional Administrator Utility and Settings Information 39
TIP: If you use the FBWF Enable icon to enable the File Based Write Filter, the second
reboot will happen automatically.
By default, the NetXClean utility will purge all but specifically selected profiles on the
system when the thin client starts up or when the user logs off. For information on how to
ensure a new profile is not purged by the NetXClean utility, see "Understanding the
NetXClean Utility."
Using Roaming Profiles
You can participate in domains by writing roaming profiles to the C drive. The profiles must
be limited in size and will not be retained when the thin client is restarted.
For successful downloading and proper functioning, there must be sufficient flash space
available for roaming profiles. In some cases it may be necessary to remove software
components to free space for roaming profiles.
Using the WinPing Diagnostic Utility
WinPing is used to launch the Windows PING (Packet InterNet Groper) diagnostic utility
and view the results from pinging. To open the WinPing window, click Start > Run, enter
WinPing in the box, and click OK.
WinPing is a diagnostic tool that sends an echo request to a network host. The host
parameter is either a valid host name or an IP address. If the host is operational and on
the network, it responds to the echo request. The default is to send 5 echo requests and
then stop if no response is detected. WinPing sends one echo request per second,
calculates round trip times and packet loss statistics, and displays a brief summary upon
completion.
WinPing is used to:
• Determine the status of the network and various hosts.
• Track and isolate hardware and software problems.
• Test, measure, and manage networks.
• Determine the IP address of a host if only the host name is known.
