Ping sends an ECHO_REQUEST packet to the specified host. If the host responds, you get an ICMP packet back which means the machine is up and connected to the network. You can “ping” an IP address to see if a machine is alive. If there is no response, you know something is wrong. E.g.
C:\>ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx e.g. ping 192.168.1.10
Allows you to ping another computer (the x's represent the IP address of the computer you are attempting to ping). If this is not able to complete, this should relay back an unsuccessful message, which could be an indication of cable issues, network card issues, hub issue, etc
C:\>ping localhost
Pings the local host, this will allow you to see if the computer is able to send information out and receive the information back. Note that this does not send information over a network but may allow you to see if the card is being seen.
