Assuming you are using WinXP, Start > RUN type in CMD and hit Enter. A "dos"
box will open. type in your ping command and see the results, when finished,
either close the box as you would any normal window, or just type exit to
close it

Alternatively, Start > Programs > Accessories > Comamnd Prompt also opens a
"dos" box.

It's not DOS any more, it a command or cmd prompt

It's assumed you are doing - Start / Run / ping <address>
so you see a command/cmd prompt box flash up and disappear.


In that case , try this instead 1st for NT/XP/2000 etc

Start / Run / cmd / OK

Or for I think the Win 9x/Me types.

Start / Run / command / OK


Or (for Windows 2000 , the other are similar)

Start / Programs / Accessories / Command Prompt

They all open a command prompt window , then you can do the commands you
need.

To save the results, you redirect '>' the output to a file.

ping 127.0.0.1 > pingresult.txt

or

traceroute 127.0.0.1 > traceresult.txt

then open the file pingresult.txt and so on.

Or take a screen shot.

Or use Mark (i.e. copy)/paste into another application.


If the information, e.g. a traceroute still goes off the screen try this
instead.

The command window (any command window) can be set to have a buffer that
allows you to scroll back,

With a command window open, click on the icon on the top left of the
window title bar. Select properties , look for the screen buffer size
option. I usually set the height to 100, this is how far I can scroll
back.

Me

Using XP it is Start>run>type cmd and press enter. To save the output right
click>select all>ctl+c. Open note pad ctl+v.

Just to add my way.

Adding /K after the CMD command will keep the window open for any
command.

WInKwy+R CMD /K Ping 216.239.39.99 <enter>

Winkwy new keyboard, WinKey of course.

You also wanted to save also, just to add a different way of what's
been given.

Right click the top of the CMD (command) window go down to edit and
select mark (or select all), highlight what you want, right click the
bar again > edit > copy.

Then paste it into a text editor.

Or give UltraEdit (only the best text editor) a try you can run DOS
commands (F9) from it and it's saved automatically.

To Add Pennywise's adroit use of the /k argument add a > [directory
filename]
example
click Start then Run. And in the window that opens up type the following:

cmd /k ping www.google.com > c:\whatever.txt

Now you can go to your C drive and find a text file called whatever.txt and
you can email it, archive, print it, whatever you want.

By adding a command to the ping request to save the output as a text file.

Click Start, Programs, DOS Prompt or click Start, Run. In the Run
box, type "CMD" without the quotes and press enter.

At the prompt, type:

ping 192.168.0.1 >c:\ping.txt

That will save the ping data to a text file in the root directory of drive C

Now double-click c:\ping.txt and you will see something similar to this:

Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
