Presently, you can only monitor hosts with TCP/IP. Make sure both machines (the one running WhatsUp and the one WhatsUp is monitoring) are running TCP/IP. First, check to see if you have the “Monitor” option checked off in the host’s Properties screen for each host that you want to monitor. When that is all set, check to see if the TCP/IP protocol has been set up properly on the system that is running WhatsUp. In either Windows NT or Windows 95, go to the control panel and click on Network. On this screen you’ll see the TCP/IP protocol or a third-party TCP/IP stack. If you do not have a TCP/IP stack installed, then install it now. Refer to your Windows NT or Win95 Help for installing TCP/IP. Once installed, you should be able to ping another host. Open to an MS-DOS prompt and type in “ping” followed by a space and the name of another host. If you successfully “pinged” another host, then you’re all set to use WhatsUp.
