Keeping Ping DOS window open?


Recommended Posts

When I run Ping from the DOS command prompt, the Ping data returns in a DOS

window........but the window closes after it finishes. How do I keep the

DOS window open after it finishes so I can view the data?

thanks!

I suspect you're not running ping from the Command Prompt -

you're probably running it from the Start/Run box. If so then

this might help:

 

cmd /c ping http://www.google.com & pause

 

Also note that DOS is a legacy operating system introduced

some thirty years ago. It is rarely used these days and does

not exist under WinXP, inspite of its similarity to the Command

Prompt.

You mean you are doing "ping" from the RUN field?

Try CMD from the RUN field...

 

Or...

 

cmd /k ping http://www.google.com

--> Click OK
