How to ensure the connectivity in network?

Hi,

After ping command to the target pc, it show:

64 bytes from 192.168.1.2:icmp_seq=1508 ttl=64 time=x.xms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2:icmp_seq=1509 ttl=64 time=x.xms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2:icmp_seq=1510 ttl=64 time=x.xms
(it displays continuously )

Is this mean connected already?
or it is connected when reply like:

--192.168.1.101 ping statistics --
4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% loss, time 3062ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 3.950/4.948/7.072/1.242ms

(As what i read from the materials):

thanks

Hi,

Both show that the target pc is up.

The first example shows the single pings and the time it took for one packet to do a roundtrip (time=x.xms).

The second example is a summary. Amount of packets send (transmitted) equals the amount of packets recieved (which comes to 0 % loss).

The first is probably from a ping that runs continuously (depends on the platform/ping used).

Hope this clears things up a bit.
