Verify communications using the ping 
command 
The ping command verifies communications across a TCP/IP 
connection. Ping does not verify if the subnet mask and gateway are 
correct. To use it, open the MS-DOS command prompt. Type ping 
followed by an IP address. For example, if the IP address is 
192.168.1.56, enter 
ping 192.168.1.56.  
If LAN communications are working properly, you will see a 
successful reply. For example:
