PING stands for Packet Internet Groper.

This is a simple diagnostic tool implemented in both Windows and Linux.

This enables you the ability to test for basic communication between two network nodes within a LAN or across the WAN/Internet.

The concept is simple – a special packet is sent from a source machine to a destination machine at which the destination machine responds back.

The time it takes for this process to complete helps determine two things:

Does the destination machine respond?

How long does it take the destination machine to respond back?

To run this tool is very simple.

For windows you simply open a command prompt:

Goto Start -> run -> typeCMD ->press enter

Within the command prompt you will type:

ping destination-IP -n10

For example:

ping 4.2.2.2 -n10
