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.
"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.
check the ip of the remote computer and yours, use ipconfig command
That would depend on the network topology chosen and the type of network connectivity devices employed. In a properly constructed, switched and/or routed network the answer would be NO. If hubs or repeaters are used to connect devices and/or network segments, then yes. In a bus or ring topology, the answer is yes. Whether anything is done with the frame is a different matter and depends on whether you consider the network adaptor to be integral to the computer.
It is a network adapter whether it is wireless or wired type.

To check whether a printer is shared or not go to devices on the computer and note whether the printer is listed for that particular computer. Do this for each computer in question.
To determine whether TCP/IP is functioning properly on your computer, you can ping a reliable external IP address, such as Google's public DNS server at 8.8.8.8. Open a command prompt or terminal and type ping 8.8.8.8. If you receive replies, it indicates that TCP/IP is functioning correctly and your internet connection is active. Additionally, you can ping a local IP address, like your router's address, to check local network connectivity.
