    What statistics are you looking for? Is it stats you are interested in or more on the monitoring side of things? Freeping is quite good.

    Forgive me for being a noob. But what is the switch you run on a ping ip that will tell you the DNS name? -A?

    Don't forget nslookup and nbtstat, both are very useful.

    You can do a constant ping that won't stop until you tell it to by using the following switch.

    ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -t

    The -t at the end will create a continuous ping. Not sure if that is what you are looking for.

    Question is kind of vague, pathping is a really cool utility and may or may not be what you are looking for. It is like tracert except it will ping each hop (100 times by default, but can be changed) and then gives you a statistical layout.

    The only disadvantage, is that it can take like 5 minutes to ping 10 hops 100 times each, but it is a really cool command. (Also, hops won't reply back if configured to drop icmp packets)
    Decide what to be and go be it.

    I use both of those tools nearly everyday. Every sysadmin should know dns.

    What if both routers are down at one of our manufacturing facilities? We get Patrol alerts listing the first 3 sets of octets. What's the best way to find the server/router name from the ip alert?
