Ping sends a small set of data packets to the target host (IP number), then 'listens' for
an echo response in return. Ping estimates the round-trip time in milliseconds,
records any data losses, and displays a summary when finished.
Bottom line, if you can't 'ping' your target, your connection has problems (the
problem might be as simple as a bad cable connection). To issue a ping, you need
know the IP number of the target computer.
