Re: [nv-l] loadhost not working

The command does have a -t and -v option, at least on Unix. Maybe a verbose trace would tell you what is wrong.

created a little text file called WTF.txt in it had the IP address and the DNS name of the device 

did not use the -m subnet mask.  Reading the rules about it I thought the -m for subnet was optional meaning that if I did nto use it then it would attempt to determine the subnet once it found the device. 

the exact syntax was 
loadhosts -p -P -v < d:\WTF.txt 

this was on the NT machine.  I could understand if I did not do the syntax right, but just the fact that the error I receive says no ICMP response from devices it was made it seem odd, because I could ping it before and immediately after running the loadhosts.
