The screen shot below shows the response of the “ping 192.168.123.123 –t” command.
This -t command is used to repeatedly ping the specified node in the network, to cancel use “Ctrl –
C”
A good test for the network once it is first set up is to use PING repeatedly from one PC’s IP
address to the other PC’s IP address. This gives a good example of the networks reliability and how
responsive it is from point to point. When you enter “Ctrl C” the program reports a packet sent-
received-lost percentage.
