i have a shortcut in my quicklauch to launch a command prompt.

is there anyway i can have it auto populate "ping 192.168.1."

then i can just type in the last digits?

so i don't have to type in "ping 192.168.1.ect ect"

copy con p.bat

ping 192.168.1.%1

[ctrl]+z, [enter]

Now just type:

p 123

at the command line to ping 192.168.1.123

very cool...thanks!!

when i press ctrl+c to terminate the batch file....i have to press y

how do i bypass this?

thanks

try this p.cmd:

ping 192.168.1.%1
PAUSE
EXIT

jaclaz

that didn't work

im pressing ctrl+c to terminate around the 2nd "request timed out"

i modified p.bat

ping 192.168.1.%1 -n 1

so i only send 1 request

and don't have to be impatient for the time outs

thanks

Or you can do what I did.

Just create a new shortcut, in type the location of the item, just type "Ping 192.168.1.etc etc" without the quotes, click next, click finish.
