12.1 Diagnosing Problem using IP Utilities
12.1.1 ping
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
it, you must know the IP address of the computer with which you
are trying to communicate.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute a ping command
from the Start menu. Click the Start button, and then click Run. In
the Open text box, type a statement such as the following:
ping 192.168.1.1
Click
OK
. You can substitute any private IP address on your LAN
or a public IP address for an Internet site, if known.
If the target computer receives the message, a Command Prompt
window displays like that shown in Figure 12.1.

If the target computer cannot be located, you will receive the
message “Request timed out.”
