The PING command is used to test the
connection and latency between two network connections. These
connections can be either in a local area network or a wide area
network or the internet as a whole. The PING command sends packets of
information to a specified IP Address and then measures the time it
takes to get a response from the specified computer or device.
Open a TERMINAL window
Type "ping" in the Command
Window.
Hit the
space bar once.
Type
the IP or website address that you want to ping, after the space. For
example, if you want to ping eBay, type "www.ebay.com"
after the space. If you want to ping your Router it might be
"192.168.1.1"
Hit "Enter." If the website
is up and actively responding, you receive replies back from the
server that you pinged with the following information:
- The IP address
The number of Bytes sent
The time it took in milliseconds
The TTL is Time to Live (This indicated
the number of "hops" back from the computer pinged from
that computers initial TTL value.)
Press CTRL C to stop the command and
show results.
