NotesCONNECT (nping.exe) is a TCP/IP diagnostics tool designed to verify that a service on a given machine is available.
This is accomplished establishing an end-to-end TCP/IP connection with the target host without using the Notes address book or address resolution logic. This tool requires that IBM Notes be installed on the local machine.
This tool is ideal for determining if a TCP/IP connectivity problem is IBM Notes related or an IP infrastructure problem.
This connection that is established is a TCP/IP connection, as opposed to ping which uses an IP connection over ICMP.
No application or service specific protocol/data is exchanged during the "ping" connection.
