Update October 2011: nPing can no longer be downloaded, see this workaround.
Lotus Notes client didn’t work at the Frensham Pond Hotel, when I stayed there.
Long story short
- Ports 80/443 worked, so I was able to “surf” the web.
- Port 1352 blocked
How did I know?
- I used nPing.exe, and this is what a failure looks like
- A successful nPing looks like this:
(and your Lotus Notes client should work)
The fix?
- None, unfortunately. The Hotel’s ISP blocked everything except ports 80 & 443.
nPing is part of the NotesConnect toolset and can be found via this weblink:
