How to check port at ping range?

 

Hi,

It is not possible to find out whether the port is open or not using ping method. By the ping method you can only know whether the other computer is connected to the network or not. To know whether the port is open or not you have to try other systems like tcp clients. The following steps will be helpful to you to know whether the port is open or not:

1. As you cannot find whether the port is open or not using the ping method, i suggest you use TCPclient. The TCPclient can tell you whether the port is open or not.

2. All you have to do is connect to the other computer and send information across the network. If the transmission is successful then it means that the port is open.

3. When the port is open you can send a request to connect to that port. If the other user acknowledges the request then you will be connected to it.

4. If the information you sent was not transmitted and an exception occurs, this means that the port is not available.

Hope this information helps you.
