[gui-talk] Pinging A Computer

[Mike Freeman]

To "ping" a computer means to run a program which sends out Internet 
packets to an ip address to see whether the computer is alive. If it is, 
the computer sends a return packet and the "ping" program counts up the 
packets sent and the packets replied-to and computes statistics based 
upon the time ttaken for these packets to travel.

  Hello everyone,

      This is quite easy to do. I'll describe the procedure using 
Windows XP.
  First type, "CMD" in the Windows, "Run" dialogue box. When the Command
  Prompt appears type in ping followed by the IP Address, Web site, or
  whatever else you wish to ping. That's all there is to pinging a 
computer.
