    MacIntosh network tools

    Just out of curiosity:

    Does MacIntosh have command line network tools like PCs? For example, simple commands like "ping", and "ipconfig/all" are indispensible. Does Mac have similar tools? =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          There is a 'terminal' application in Mac OS X which you can ping from and do an 'ifconfig' which is similar to 'ipconfig' but it's a lot harder to read and understand. The terminal app is somewhere in: Finder > Applications > Utilities.

          The guide KenB had written above is a lot more useful and better to use.

              I'll give it a try when I'm in front of a Mac, next time. Thanks. =^..^=
