Follow these steps to Ping a device:
Ping is the acronym for Packet Internet Groper (PING), a utility to determine if a specific IP address is accessible. It works by sending a
packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. Ping is primarily used to troubleshoot Internet connections. By sending out a ping,
you are verifying that a specific computer is available. Since all computers on the network must have a unique IP address, getting a reply
means that a computer is on the network and it can communicate.
If you cannot ping another computer, then there is probably a problem with the hardware. Check the cabling and adapter installation. If you
are unable to network, even when you receive a reply to your ping, it is probably a software configuration issue. Verify that all the settings
are correct.
Start MS-DOS Prompt.
Type in following: ping:xxx.xxx.xx.xx, where xxx.xxx.xx.xx is the IP address to be pinged (i.e. 192.152.81.85). In this case, computer A is
pinging its own IP address. A successful ping will show four replies.
