RE: pinging remote server using a mac

Another great program is whatroute. It is freeware and was at least at one point available on Apple's OS 9 cd if you did a custom install.

What's new in this version:

*    PING Distribution Graph
*    MultiPing - successively ping each hop in a trace
*    LAN monitor - port of the Unix tcpdump command
*    Address Scan - function for finding all active hosts on a network
*    ICMP traceroute probes - maybe useful for getting out through a firewall.

 
Product Description:
Trace Internet Paths
PING Remote Hosts
DNS Query
Finger
Whois
TELNET Server

Best of luck,
PT
