PING
Ping (Packet Internet Groper)
is another executable program that creates an echo
request to a host on a TCP/IP based network.
It communicates using the ICMP (Internet Control Message
Protocol). When you use the ping command, your system sends
out an ICMP packet and then waits for a response from a remote
host and measures the time it takes to respond.
PING is an excellent troubleshooting tool for, determining
everything from, “is TCP/IP loaded”, to determining
where a fault may lie in a connection. ‘PINGing’
specific IP addresses does this.
To use the PING command, type PING
followed by the IP address you wish to verify a connection to, at the
Command Prompt. Note the example that follows.

 PING Command
The Ping command, when invoked with an IP number or name using PING –t will continuously transmit to find if a device is communicating.
