How To Ping Continuously Until Stopped by Henrimorales

i recently learned this. i wanted to know how to ping an ip adderss like forever without stopping because usually when you send the ping command it only pings like for four times, then it stops, but i am monitoring a server and to ping continuously all you have to do is use the -t option

for example, if i want to ping this ip: 192.168.1.155 i would send this command in the Windows DOS terminal

DOS COMMAND:

ping 192.168.1.155 -t

top stop it, just hit control+c

thats it

use -t but also use -l (and then most amount of bits it will allow in place of this)
