[gui-talk] Pinging A Computer

[Mike Freeman]

Sherry:

You want to know whether the computer is on the Net or whether it's 
something in the software or connections on your machine that is causing 
the lack of connectivity. Moreover, one can ping a computer without 
trying to log into itor access its web pages.

  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.
