In the above example, you can see that after trying to ping the IP address 192.168.1.200, the
results show that the
“Destination Host is Unreachable”
. This means that the remote gateway
was unable to direct our ping request to the device/host itself and sends an echo message back
to say that it cannot be found. Most likely there is not a device on your LAN that is using the
192.168.1.200 IP address.
If your results show the following, there is a device/host on your network with that IP address
already. In the example below, the results from command
‘ping 192.168.1.10’
show that there is
a device on the LAN at that IP address responding to our ping request.
