Default Retaining ping response

I'm looking to see if an email server exists.

I type in 'ping' and its name in the Run dialog. Three responses come
up very briefly, then the display disappears. How can I get it to
remain on the screen? I used to know how but have forgotten.

TIA to those with better memories, or at least younger memories.


Continuos ping?

Ping -t hostname or ip address

i.e. ping -t google.com

Just X out of command prompt when your done.

Hope this helps.
