Whether or not the DOS window stays depends on the *Windows* settings, not on a batch command.	Graham L (2)

Then, both posts appeared! So, there is still a bug somewhere, but I did actually click post twice. G P	Graham Petrie (449)
55690	2002-06-21 06:51:00	Graham L, I'm delighted to inform you that you remain the undisputed PC/DOS expert of the Press F1 forum. :-) :-) You hit the nail fair and square on its head. The batch file works brilliantly and does exactly what I want it to do. The ping.exe is in my Windows folder and I wasn't putting that path in the batch file. Absolutely no ingratitude to all the others trying to help, I've learnt a heck of a lot here and nothing has been wasted. Thank you to all who have helped. Graham P, yes I can open the DOS box and do all that, I just wanted a shortcut to double-click on and have it do it all for me, which I now have. PS Graham L, there will be an email for you shortly.	Susan B (19)
55691	2002-06-21 08:24:00	Graham L, the email I sent you got bounced. :-( I used the one that I contacted you with last time (with 'nuts' in it). If you still have my hotmail addy can you contact me? It's not important though, and you don't have to if you don't want to.	Susan B (19)

The post button was hit twice, so ofcourse it posted twice.	-=JM=- (16)
55693	2002-06-21 09:48:00	What Browsers automatically append a www to a url they can't resolve? My understanding of whether a url requires a 'www' prefix to be resolved depends on the DNS entries . If a DNS 'A' record contains a www prefixed url AND a 'CNAME' (alias) record exists for the URL without the www, the DNS service will respond to both versions . If there is no alias record, only the www prefixed address will be recognised . Hence some sites are only 'reachable' by their full www address, while others respond to both (with and without www) . Obviously, it has become the norm to provide an alias, so the www is not required .	wuppo (41)

I was sitting here going "now where is the difference". I kept looking at the end because that's usually where s difference would be.	-=JM=- (16)
55696	2002-06-21 22:16:00	I think all Susan was looking for was the pause so it didn't disappear directly if she used the run command. A batch file with: ping %1% pause would do the business. Been kind of interesting though. robo.	robo (205)
