I do a lot of testing network connections on my job. I want to create a batch file that can be executed from my Windows desktop, when clicked, it goes out to the DOS prompt and ping a IP Address. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

Are you wanting to ping the same IP address each time?
Save the following as pingaddr.bat (replacing the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your choice of IP address).
Code:ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Yes. But most importantly, I want to run this from my Windows Desktop, which means there will be a Batch File Icon. I know I can do what you're suggesting from the DOS prompt, but I want a batch file that will execute from the desktop.
I am sorry...It worked!! Thank you very much. I didn't know it was that simple. Thanks again JDC2000!
You're welcome.
