Successfully pinging the loopback address verifies that TCP/IP is installed and configured correctly on the local client.
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.
To test the Ping command, you need a computer or device with a network interface (such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi) to connect to a network. The essential software is the operating system's command-line interface, such as Command Prompt on Windows or Terminal on macOS/Linux, which includes the Ping utility. Additionally, ensure that you have network connectivity and the target IP address or hostname you wish to ping. No special hardware beyond standard networking equipment is required.
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
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.
Use a command window to run ipconfig /allthen run ping "ipaddress" from the listings.ping 127.0.0.1 is a loopback to test media(Cabling/hubs).
To check the network card and its connection.

`Ping'' is used for network debugging`ping' sends a single packet
The ping command is to check that an IP address is reachable. the ping command is used to know the active networks and ip address in the network. it also used to self check the address when there is connection trouble with other system. internet control message protocol is used by the ping.
Testing the network card itself involves running a diagnostic program that is usually supplied by the vendor that manufactored the card. For basic network connectivity you can start with the 'ping' command move up from there depending on what is found.
Check to make sure your firewall is not blocking ping ICMP requests on the server. Also, check to see if the clients can ping each other and the default gateway for starters.
"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.
