Windows ping delay

It only takes a minute to sign up. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. I am currently working in a big company and we have serious latency issues. This is happening in a process control system, and is unacceptable Open a valve sometimes take 2 minutes before command start.

I want to double-check when the network team says "everything is alright on the network". So, I want to create a loop that pings the server and writes the result in a text file. Looks fine to me, but there's no need to loop it if you want to continuously ping the IP. Then you could simply do it like this:. As you can see I replaced the sleep command with timeout. That's because sleep isn't always available on some systems whereas timeout usually is.

Missing sleep or timeout commands on your system? Don't fret. Just replace timeout with the following hack:. This hack simply pings your local address, and since it will respond instantly we can use this to emulate a delay in execution. The question is not quite clear.

Apparently there is no use in continuous loop in a batch file appending to a file. Especially when this batch file is started by a repeating external event My assumption is there should be some time period for testing and then the batch should end. I also assume that today most of the MS Windows are equipped with Powershell, which might become useful for this case. Here is the twoliner:.

This can be put in a batch file, or run as a powershell script, in this case remove 'powershell' and the double quotes. For a Windows solution, if you are willing to install wtee. This is better because you are not needing to write to a log file, why would you really need a log file just to the immediate window and it gives you the desired results "immediately" :. Also, you can adjust the timeout by changing the value after 'timeout' as it is in this case 3 seconds The delay between each ping is 1 second, so for a delay of 5 seconds ping 6 times: PING -n 6 Ping response times below 10 milliseconds often have low accuracy.

From this you can see that ping response times will give a very very rough estimate of the distance to a remote host. Network adminstrators do not appreciate frequent or continual pings to their servers, try not to overdo it! Hey buddy, I don't see a point in u cribbing here C'mmon 7 seconds does not make much difference:. How satisfied are you with this reply?

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. Using "nslookup", it forces an immediate query directly to the DNS server, skipping steps 1 and 2 above.

So the logical culprit would be a problem with your Hosts file. A default Hosts file contains only one line that does not begin with a " " character and that line is: HTH, JW.

In reply to Wunders's post on August 26, Nice bit of knowledge Wunders! Thank you. Cheers Tim. In reply to TimD's post on August 26, Since installing the Samsung software appears to have caused the problem and since then you have un-installed that software, you might try performing a System Restore to a point in time before you did this software installation. Perhaps it will put things back to the way they were.

Perhaps this will give some clues. This issue is more obvious when you play games and gives you trouble. However, it is a common issue. Many users have ever encountered it. In this post, MiniTool Software will show you how to fix high ping after Windows 10 upgrade. When a new Windows 10 update is released, you may be glad to update your system to enjoy the new features.

If you are a game player, you will hate this issue. Why is my ping so high? How do I fix high ping?
