Based on that screen capture, it looks like it should be creating the pingloss.txt and recording data. However, it isn’t recognizing “choice” as a valid command, which means it will loop incredibly fast (without the 1 second delay created by the choice command) and create a much bigger text file. Are you saying the text file isn’t being created? What version of Windows are you using? I’ve tested this on Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

At a command prompt, type pingloss x.x.x.x (replace x’s with IP address).

But i can’t make it work. So, basicly, i’ve done the following: copy-psate the script in a txt file. Saved that txt file as pingloss.cmd. Where do i have to put the ping comand to my desired ip adress?
