How to ping Intranet sites

[Chandra via WindowsKB.com]

Hi,
I am using Windows XP and many Intranet sites the list which completely don't
know. Ours is a big organization.

Like we ping the internet sites by giving command such as ping yahoo.com.
Is there any way to find whether Intranet sites are pinging ?. But i really
dont know in which server the intranet sites are lying. We have many servers
too.

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Sure - try try to ping them. Whether it works will depend on whether the
names can be resolved (a DNS thing) and whether ICMP is enabled.

But i
really dont know in which server the intranet sites are lying.

Well, someone must!

We
have many servers too.

Any ideas are welcome.

You might ask the people who run your intranet servers or manage the network
for some help.

No. I cant able to Ping it.

For example we have intranet site namely transport. So, we used to open in
the IE as https://transport

How can i find in which server it resides. also if i ping its showing request
timed out.

Also, can u explain what is ICMP ?

I specified an example in my previous post. Please check and reply the way to
do it.

If you could possibly be a bit more specific then maybe someone could help.
Ping is used to simply establish basic network connectivity between hosts.
Is there a computer that you should be able to access that you can't??

What happens when you try

ping transport <enter>

?

How can i find in which server it resides.

If you *could* ping transport the IP address would tell you.

also if i ping its showing

request timed out.

Also, can u explain what is ICMP ?

ICMP = ping.

Again, I think you really need to speak to the people who manage the network
& Intranet servers for your company. Anything here is going to be guesswork.

Internet Control and Management Protocol. This defines the formats (there
are several kinds of these packets) of such packets. There is an RFC for
the protocol, but I don't remember which one.

One thing to try is to use a network scanner like Angry IP scanner to scan
your network. It will try to ping every host in the range and if you specify
that it also check for open port TCP 80 you will be able to identify which
hosts are also web servers. If the server is offline or protected by a
firewall you will have a very difficult time finding or identifying it
though other possibilities are to examine DHCP leases, wins database, and
DNS records on the servers that have those roles for name clues where in an
Active Directory domain the domain controllers would also be DNS servers. If
possible in an Active Directory domain try to do your network scans from a
domain controller.
