Honestly I only ever use the -t option in PING, NMAP for port scanning, and SolarWinds for network ping scans. But upon further investigation there seems to be a way to use the default ping util in Windows/dos to ping multiple hosts with one command, ie ping "destination-lists". Has anyone used the "destination-lists" on the ping command. Or is the term of "lists" just a mistype (Heaven Forbid) from M$? I also noticed in XP it no longer says destination-lists, but target_name.
