Hello,
Could someone please tell me if I receive the following response when I ping,
ping: sendto: host id down
ping: wrote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 64 chars, ret -1
Does this mean that something is using that IP address but incommunicado? I've searched the web for an answer and it seems many things can cause this. Does anyone know? In the past I ping the IP address and it tells me whether or not a given laptop is connected (by either responding if connected or saying 100% packet loss if not connected).
Thanks in advance for your help
