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 ping, you must know the IP address or domain name of the
computer you want to communicate with.
For example, you can test whether the path to the ISP is working if
you know the IP address of their access server.
The Diagnostics page provides a utility for executing ping. Follow
these steps:
1. Display the WAN tab, click
!$ "
in the task bar, and
click at the bottom of the Diagnostics page.
The Diagnostics - Ping page displays:

computer you want to ping.

In a few seconds, the lower table will display values indicating
the results after 4 ping packets have been transmitted. If a
connection is detected, the Packets Received value will also
equal 4. If no connection can be detected after 4 attempts, then
the Packets Received value will be 0 and the Percent Packet
Loss will be 100%.
