7.1 Diagnosing problems using IP utilities
7.1.1 ping
Ping is a command you can use to check whether your PC can recognize other
computers on your network and the Internet. A ping command sends a message
to the computer you specify. If the computer receives the message, it sends
messages in reply. To use it, you must know the IP address of the computer with
which you are trying to communicate.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute a ping command from the
Start
menu. Click the Start button, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type a
statement such as the following:
ping 192.168.1.1
Click OK. You can substitute any private IP address on your LAN or a public IP
address for an Internet site, if known.
If the target computer receives the message, a Command Prompt window
appears as shown in Figure 61.
