5.3 Troubleshooting Tools
5.3.1 Network Connectivity
• PING
The ping command determines whether a specific IP address is accessible. It works by
sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. It is useful for
troubleshooting “end-to-end” reachability, network connectivity, and network latency.
Available for MS-Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, and XP as well as Unix & Free BSD.
EXAMPLE:
ping 192.168.204.1 displays the response with turn around time in milliseconds.
• TRACERT (WINDOWS)
The tracert command is used to visually see a network packet being sent and received and
the number of hops required for that packet to get to its destination.
Available for MS-DOS 6.2, MS-Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
Note:
Users with MS-Windows 2000 or XP who need additional information on network
latency and network loss may also use the pathping command.
EXAMPLE
tracert www.yahoo.com at the command prompt displays the intermediate routers
between local host to the www.yahoo.com site.
