Ping test running long

Hi,

 I have a strange issue where my ping test results duration is VERY high (450-500) It is probably due to one or two slow responses. Is there a way to track down which is the offender other that individually pinging all 200 hosts?

Thanks much

Kevin

I had a problem just like this when using Hobbitping.  If at the command
line I used Hobbitping the response times were normal (5ms or so) while on
the WWW pages I would see something like 100ms or 250ms.  I simply switched
to fping and this problem went away.

You may also want to confirm it is pinging the right IP address.  Click on
the face/shape of the test for that host and it will say "response from
x.x.x.x".
