I am trying to get going with some linux networking - basically just seeing other machines (a Mac and XP box) on my local network...
Long before getting to the process of setting up NFS, I simply see if I can ping the subnet IP of the Mac. Thing is, the ping just keeps on going, and going, and going (you get the idea..)
I realized that I don't know how to stop this process and restore the terminal prompt. I d/l the konsole manual in pdf and can't see anything there. So, I ask here: What is the process of ending/stopping/killing something like a ping that keeps on going.
While I'm at it, I have seen other moments where a command has ended (after asking for sources.list) and I have no prompt on the screen where I can enter a new command. When that happens, what does it mean and what should I do to respond to it, or, barring that, what can I do to restore my prompt and continue?
Help always very much appreciated.
