Windows 2000 has several tools that allow you to determine computer settings and perform diagnostic tests to resolve communication problems.
This command-line utility enables you to troubleshoot IPX connectivity problems and provides information about the current state of the stack. It displays the current IPX status, including the network number, media access control (MAC) address, interface name, and frame type. To use this utility, type ipxroute config at the command prompt.
This command uses RIP to determine if there is connectivity to a specific network. To use this command, type ipxroute ripout <network number> at the command prompt.
Network Monitor enables you to detect and troubleshoot problems on LANs and on WANs, including RAS links. With Network Monitor you can identify network traffic patterns and network problems. For example, you can locate client-to-server connection problems, find a computer that makes a disproportionate number of work requests, capture frames (packets) directly from the network, display and filter the captured frames, and identify unauthorized users on your network.
Windows 2000 Server includes a version of Network Monitor that allows you to capture traffic coming to or going from the local computer. This version of Netmon is not available with Windows 2000 Professional. For more information about network monitoring, see "Monitoring Network Performance" in the Server Operations Guide.
