If you are experiencing difficulty connecting to servers on certain
segments of your LAN, then you may want to use the ping command to
verify you are reaching specific servers and/or gateways on the subnet in
question. To use ping:
1. Select the
Diagnostics
tab from the
Network Tools
window.
2. In the
Host Address
field, type in the IP address or website you
want to test against and then press the
Ping
button.
3. If there is an error in the delivery to the destination, the ping
command displays an error message. Otherwise, replies will
continuously display for each packet successfully sent and
received.
4. Press the
Stop
button to terminate the ping loop.
