  • Once in the dos window type the IP address e.g. ping 10.10.10.2
    Or enter the host name e.g. ping tech-pc

  • If the network IP address is not responding you will receive:
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.

    Request timed out.

  • If the IP address does respond you will receive:
    Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
    Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

    To do a continuous ping type the IP address followed by –t.
