Default Ping a Server Port?

How do I use the Windows 98SE DOS ping command to ping a particular port number? I need
to test to see if my ISP is blocking certain ports.

For example, if I want to ping Port 25 on SMTP.MYSITE.COM from my computer. I tried

C:\ ping smtp.mysite.com:25

and it spits an error.

Thanks to anyone that can help!!!

call them and ask them.

computer. I tried

and it spits an error.

This is the syntax of the PING command

http://www.computerhope.com/pinghlp.htm#03

As you can see, PING doesn't support what you want to do.

Try

TELNET SMTP.MYSITE.COM PORT 25

The error is unknown host. Even if I try

C:\ ping microsoft.com:80
Unknown host microsoft.com:80

but it will let me do

C:\ ping microsoft.com

I'm using Windows 98SE.

Thanks!!!

Damn, PCR, this is strange. Yeah, my ping command has the same properties as yours. When
I disable my firewall, I still have the same problem!

Port 80 is the default HTTP port. So,
http://www.microsoft.com

is exactly the same as

http://www.microsoft.com:80

Default Ping a Server Port?

Hmmmm. Well...

(1) I don't know, but...

(a) "START button, Find, F/F, HOSTS".
(b) You may get 3 or 4 them. LOOK for the one that is just "HOSTS",
with NO file type such as ".sam".
(c) R-Clk it, select Rename, & name it "xHOSTS". There is no need to
reboot.

Does the site work now? Fine. Rename it back afterwards, as I do.

(2) Can anything else in your Startup Group be responsible?
Better run a virus/spyware scan, &/or try a kind of clean boot,
by unchecking various items at...

"START button, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab".

I DON'T get any unknown host messages. Looks like I MUST have a colon to
prevent timeouts at microsoft.com. I can put any number in the world
after that colon & get much the same result.

Naturally, you will not sue,

Default Ping a Server Port?

I DON'T get any unknown host messages. Looks like I MUST have a colon to
prevent timeouts at microsoft.com. I can put any number in the world

I actually get the timeout too without the colon to Microsoft.com but
when I add the colon I just get a blank box that disappears after a few
seconds. However, if I ping other sites like mozilla.com then I get a
reply similar to yours above, PCR.
