2. At the Open prompt, type command .
3. Click the OK button.
4. At the Command prompt, type ping {IP address} and then press <Enter>. The
computer returns a display similar to the one shown in figure 102.

Figure 102. Typical Ping Response
The line Pinging ... reports the actual numeric IP address, regardless of whether you
entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.
Pinging to Determine the Web IP Address
The ping utility has a modifier, -a , that directs the command to return the web address
rather than the numeric IP address.
At the Command prompt, type
ping -a {IP address} and then press <Enter>. The return
display is similar to the ping response shown in figure 102, except that when you specify the
-a modifier, the line Pinging mail... reports the web IP address rather than the numeric
IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias
name.
