Ping

Ping, shown in Figure 65, is a utility to determine if a specific IP address is
accessible. Ping sends a packet to the specified address and waits for a reply. Its
primary purpose is to troubleshoot LAN connections.
A successful reply displays the IP address and packet size in bytes, sequencing
and the port number the reply was received through. An unsuccessful reply
displays a timeout and the sequence number.
