Full Discussion: Testing connectivity to an URL

I would like to try and answer your question but I'm completely confused. We need a lot more information to even start to think about it.

However, let me state a couple of facts here (to prompt you to tell us more).

1. Your laptop ip address is 192.168.8.149 and your server address is 192.168.121.72 so if your subnet mask is (typical) 255.255.255.0 then these two addresses are NOT on the same network and so your laptop will send the connection request to its configured gateway. (You could try changing your laptop ip address to 192.168.121.xxx to see if it connects then).

2. You specify a port number on a connection command line when you know that there is a listener on that port number at the other end for the network protocol/service that you are using. If you have a particular service listening on port 8081 then that port number is not also going to work for telnet protocol. By default (ie, without specifying a port number) telnet uses port 23. So you would not specify a different port number on a telnet command line unless you KNOW that a telnet listener is configured on port 8081 at the other end. Telnet will fail to connect otherwise.

If you know all this already then I apologize for not understanding your question but please provide much more information.

Q: Can you ping your target ip address? If that fails then fix that first.

wmgrabimage

WMGRABIMGAE(1)						      General Commands Manual						    WMGRABIMGAE(1)

NAME

       WMGRABIMGAE - Dockable WWW Image monitor.

SYNOPSIS

       wmGrabImage [-h] [-display <Display>] -url <Image URL> [-http <URL>] [-c] [-delay <Time>]

DESCRIPTION

       wmGrabImage  is	a  WindowMaker DockApp that maintains a small thumbnail copy of your favorite image from the WWW.  The image to monitor is
       specified via the "-url <Image URL>" command-line option and it gets updated approximately every 5 minutes.  The  update  interval  can	be
       overridden via the "-delay <Time>" command-line option (Time is in seconds).

       Each of the three mouse buttons can be double clicked with the following effects;

       Left Mouse:
	      Brings up the full-sized image in xv.

       Middle Mouse:
	      Sends  a URL (specified via the -http <URL> command-line option) to an already running netscape process or in a new netscape process
	      if there arent any running.

       Right Mouse:
	      Updates the image immediately.

OPTIONS

       -h     Display list of command-line options.

       -display [display]
	      Use an alternate X Display.

       -url <Image URL>
	      The URL of the WWW image to monitor.

       -http <URL>
	      The URL to send to netscape via a Middle double click.

       -c     Center the image vertically within the icon.

       -delay <Time>
	      The time between updates. The default is about 5 minutes.

FILES

       The original sized image and the thumbnail XPM image are both stored in ~/.wmGrabImage/ which gets created if it doesnt already exist.

SEE ALSO

       wget and the ImageMagick convert utility.

BUGS

       Who knows? -- its still Beta though. (Let me know if you find any). Oldish versions of the ImageMagick convert utility have a  memory  leak
       -- if you have that problem, upgrade to the latest version.
