Such a host cannot exist. That's an invalid IP address, which is probably the error you're getting when you try to ping it.
ping with ip address. ex: ping 124.123.97.47
PING short form for "Packet InterNetwork Groper" is a protocol that queries IP Addresses on network. An IP Address can be pinged bit there is nothing called "Ping Address".
You can 'ping' the address
ping domainname
that i believe is an ip address. type it in the top of your browser or ping it in cmd cmd type ping (webaddress or ip)
ping [hostname] or ping [IP address]For example:ping wiki.answers.comorping 127.0.0.1
open a command prompt and ping the web address. If it is a valid address, it will return the ip.
DNS is the domain name system for short .DNS is a system that maps a name to an address . Ip address for Gmail.com is 173.194.36.86 .
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.
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
You ping the site and you will see the site address
