Pinging Servers
The list of Server IPs is not always up to date. For this reason, it is best to check the IP address of your server before adding a domain. To get this information, you simply ping a server.
Pinging in Windows Systems
If you are using a Windows operating system and wish to ping a ZetaBoards server, you must first open a command prompt. To do this, first verify that you are connected to the internet. Then, click Start, Run and type cmd in the box, and click OK.
In the command prompt, type ping followed by the URL of the server which you are on, e.g.
ping s15.zetaboards.com
Pinging in *nix Systems
To ping when using a Unix-based operating system, first verify that you are connected to the internet. Then, open up a console and type ping -c5 followed by the URL of the server you are on, e.g.
ping -c5 s15.zetaboards.com
