yeah, but it is a lot more likely that the server would be down than |
16 |
that it's just misconfigured. servers go down all the time; they are |
17 |
generally seldom administered. so it seems to me a ping is a good |
18 |
first step in testing access to these servers. im guessing CDDB does |
19 |
use IP, so if icmp can get through, so can tcp (udp,or any other |
20 |
protocols encapsulated in ip). |
