TCP/IP can be verified as installed and operating by using the 'ping' command against the localhost address:
ping 127.0.0.1
or
ping localhost
PING
A group of utility tools is also installed that can troubleshoot problems with TCP/IP. (6th Edition, - Page 928).
winipcfg
It simply tests whether the TCP/IP stack is correctly installed.
This ping command checks that the TCP/IP stack is installed and working correctly.
To check whether TCP/IP is correctly installed. 127.0.0.1 refers to your local machine, so if TCP/IP works, the ping should always be successful.
TCP/IP is not something you can turn on or off; if the networking software is installed in your system then it is always looking at network data traffic. The use of TCP/IP is governed by the protocols you are using, and that is governed by the application program you may be using. There isn't anything that a user needs to do (besides installing the network driver) to use TCP/IP in an Internet connection. (You do have to configure the workstation or device, but that's about it).
C: Attempt to ping the loopback address.
TCP/IP first
What do you mean with "TCP/IP programs"? Any program that communicates over the Internet uses TCP/IP protocols. I want to say that activities of TCP/IP protocols should be manipulate.
In the commonly used TCP/IP communications, that would either be a TCP header, or a UDP header.In the commonly used TCP/IP communications, that would either be a TCP header, or a UDP header.In the commonly used TCP/IP communications, that would either be a TCP header, or a UDP header.In the commonly used TCP/IP communications, that would either be a TCP header, or a UDP header.
