Ethernet to Ethernet ping when no IP address?
How can I ping point to point, or ethernet to ethernet when there is no IP address assigned? Is that possible? I tried using a MAC address with Ping but that did not work. In this case its a PC to a ethernet to 100BaseF (fiber) conversion and I want to send pings to test the link (no other routers or switches involved, just point to point). Any insight appreciated

If you are using a TCP/IP network then you will have to have an assigned IP address. If nothing else, assign fixed IP addresses that are part of the same network to both devices (e.g., 192.168.1.11 and 12) and ping should work just fine.
