10.10: Network Tools

Asked by peter

Hi

Regarding System > Administration > Network Tools > Ping something is strange.

As device I took eth0 (Ethernet interface). I copied the IP address to ping and clicked the button Ping. The only thing who changed was the information "Packets transmitted" when the ping was over. I couldn't see a bar, I couldn't see anything which showed me the progress of the ping. Is this normal?

In 8.04 I could see a bar. Thanks in advance.
Peter

Why not just ping from terminal:

ping host

will ping forever, or you can make it more Windows like:

ping host -c 4

To make it only ping 4 times. I don't get why there is a need for a ping GUI app.

Thanks actionparsnip. A GUI is always nice, I think.
