TCP/IP addresses to access Internet resources. The DNS
Name Lookup tool will return the numerical TCP/IP address
of a host name.
The ping test bounces a packet off a machine on the
Internet back to the sender. This test shows if the Router
is able to contact the remote host. If users on the LAN
are having problems accessing services on the Internet,
try pinging the DNS server or other machine at the ISP's
location. If this test is successful, try pinging devices
outside the ISP. This will show if the problem lies with the
ISP's connection.
