Hi Ayush

FYI

As you pointed out, the timeout and sleep batch commands are not
included in WinXP (something I didn't know - and the obvious reason
they did not work <g>). However I found the Sleep.exe file in a
Microsoft 2003 server tool kit and it works just fine in a WinXP batch
file. The link for the tool kit is:

Thanks again for the help!

Hi Ayush
Your "fix" worked great (with the number of pings set to 35).


Glad to know that.



But, I am curious. Do you have any idea why the batch commands
"timeout" or "sleep" don't accomplish the same result?
Thank you very much for the assistance!

Sorry but i cant tell you why they didnt work because i dont have those commands.
They are not avaiable in XP by default.
