Request Timed Out …
November 10, 2007
For IT people who know something about networking … when you want to check on server or power unit if its alive or not you just use a simple command ( ping server-name) here you may receive one of many answers (responses). Here how I deal with them.
1. Reply from server-name : here I smile because the server is alive and replied me. I continue my work.
2. Ping request could not find host server-name. Please check the name and try again: here I know that I made a mistake on the server name or maybe its not published or unknown to my network. I check what I have done and try again .. I check the name too and I check with the one who gave me the name.
3. Request Timed Out: This means that the server is there and known to my network, even its disconnected ! or its configured not to reply ME! In this case I simply check the connection, If its connected I simply close the window and never ping it again !!
NEVER PING IT AGAIN….this expression is so nice..but i think u better reconsider what you have just said about never pingin again…u can find an execuse for the ones you care about ,and the ones who care about u..its not always true that “request timed out” .And try to bring good luck for urself,its not always ur having a bad luck…;)
Have a nice day buddy…:)
I will consider what you said Rabee, every rule has exceptions
