How to PING Your IP Address

The PING (Packet Internet Groper) command can determine whether a specific
IP address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting
for a reply. It can also provide a very useful tool to confirm if the IP address
conflicts with Internet Camera over the network.
Follow the step-by-step procedure below to utilize the PING command but first
you must disconnect Internet Camera from the network.
Start a DOS window.
Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the Internet Camera.
The replies, as illustrated below, will help diagnose any connection problems.
