Using the "Ping" Command

A very handy method of checking your computer's networking connection is the Ping command. Let's say that you are having trouble connecting to a certain site. You can PING that site to see if it is accessible. If the site is not the trouble, try PINGing your Internet Service Provider to see if the problem is at their end.


Using the PING command in Windows XP/NT/2000:
Once you are online, go to Start>> Run. Type in: cmd.exe [Enter]

Using the Ping command in Windows 95/98/ME:
Once you are online, go to Start>> Programs>> MS DOS [Enter]
