Ping
ping 127.0.0.1
To view the network path taken by packets across internal routers within a LAN, you can use the tracert command on Windows or traceroute on Linux and macOS. This command shows the series of hops that packets take to reach a specified destination, displaying each router's IP address along the path. By running this command, you can identify the routers involved before the packets exit the LAN and head to the internet.
To test whether your computer has connectivity to the network, you can use the ping command followed by a known IP address or domain name. For example, you can type ping 8.8.8.8 (which is a Google DNS server) or ping www.google.com in the command prompt. This command sends packets to the specified address and displays the response time, indicating whether the network connection is functioning properly. If you receive replies, your computer is connected to the network; if not, there may be connectivity issues.
To ping a host with the IP address 192.168.5.36, you would use the command ping 192.168.5.36 in the command line interface of your operating system. This command sends ICMP echo request packets to the specified IP address and waits for a response. If the host is reachable, you will receive replies indicating the time it took for the packets to travel to the host and back.
To change the number of packets sent in a ping command, you can use the -c option followed by the desired number of packets. For example, in a terminal, you would type ping -c 5 [IP address or hostname] to send 5 packets. Adjust the number as needed to send more or fewer packets.
To view the network path taken by packets across your internal routers, you can use the traceroute command (or tracert on Windows). This command will display each hop that packets take from your device through the internal routers until they exit the LAN. Additionally, you can use the ping command to test connectivity and latency to specific internal IP addresses.
I believe the command you are looking for is "Ping".For example, if your computer has an IP address of 192.168.0.2, and the other computer has an IP address of 192.168.0.3, then you would typeping 192.168.0.3... from the .2 computer. You should see response times.The etymology is from ping-pong. You send a ping from one computer to another, it sends a pong back.

An administrator can use the traceroute command (or tracert on Windows systems) to identify all hops between two nodes. This command sends packets to the destination and reports back the IP addresses of the routers that handle the packets along the route. By analyzing the output, the administrator can determine the path taken and the response times for each hop.
first, make a file. in the file you type in the command's name. an example would be the command date. name the file what you want to call that command. when you use the command, type in cat filename and the computer will do the command.
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 2, Lost = 2 (50% loss)
