443 connection

I cannot ping 173.192.99:66:443 but I can withou the :443
Do I need to do something? . I have installed Internet security premium
thanks

Unfortunately, you can’t use standard ‘ping’ against ports. Ping uses ICMP which has no concept of ports.

If you want to test for the availability of a port, you could use something like Nmap or maybe paping

Let me tell you in another way.
I have a program that has to contact the server 173.192.99.66:443 but no contact is posible and the server is up and running acording to company. What can I do?

If you’re sure the server supports secure connections, you should speak to Softlayer, as it appears to be on their network
