What is the command to ping a IP address indefinitely?

ping -t 10.3.9.42

To ping the server at 10.3.9.42 you have to:

• Open Command Prompt, by

For Windows XP:

Open the start menu, click on "Run..." then type cmd then press enter or

click OK.

For Windows Vista:

Open the start menu, and type cmd then press enter.

• Type ping using in this case 10.3.9.42, or for any other server type its website or its ip address, then press enter.

This will send a very small file to the server (ping), and then it sends it back 4 times (pong). After this process it will show you how long it took to receive the data, how many of them timed out, the average time, and the highest and lowest time.
