both in Linux (well most non-minimal distros anyways...) and windows, should be
ping IP.Here
in the console...
(ex:
Microsoft Windows XP: start >> run >> cmd >> ping www.Google.com
Ubuntu linux: Applications >> Accessories >> Terminal >> ping www.google.com
)
`Ping'' is used for network debugging`ping' sends a single packet
"ping" will test for connectivity to a device at the Ethernet Address Level...but that does not mean the device's software is actually talking to the network or responding to the network. "ping" WILL tell you the device is wired up and has power applied to it's network interface board.
request timed out.
Ping command is used to check the network connectivity. You can use ping command from windows shell only, not from DOS OS as DOS does not supports networking. You can use "-t" switch with ping for continuously network checking.Syntax: Ping Example: ping 192.168.1.15 or ping 192.168.1.15 -t or ping -t 192.168.1.15
You are not connected to the network or your firewall is blocking the ping.
PING command verifies the existence of a node on a network. Ping command is a command of command line interface . It is used to check if the host is alive or not.
PING
As a metric of network performance, Ping, also known as Network Latency, is a measurement of the time that it take for a small message (or a "Ping") to be sent from your computer to another computer on the internet, then returned back to you. Ping is typically measured in milliseconds. Low numeric results or a "Low Ping" is desirable for good network performance over a "High Ping". Ping is also the name of of command-line command that can be typed to initiate a "ping" and measure the time that it takes for the message be returned to your computer.
Ping time-out
ping is a test command. It sends a "ping" to a specified IP which should ACK back, when the ACK is received the message turnaround time is calculated. If the IP fails to respond it times out and reports failure. You can use this command to verify network connectivity, etc.
I believe you are talking about the "PING" command. Open a "command" prompt and type ping/? it will give you all the parameters.
