Ping tab

The Ping tab allows you to verify the connection of your computer with another computer in a network. To ping a connection:

1.Type the IP address of the connection you want to verify in the IP Address field.

2.Configure the ping session by assigning the size and count of packet to send, and the time limit

for a ping session to continue (in milliseconds).

3.Click the Ping button.

During the ping session, the Ping button toggles into a Stop button. Click Stop anytime to cancel the ping session.

The session field displays information on the verified connection including the roundtrip time (minimum, maximum, and average) and packets sent, received, and lost after a ping session.

Click the Clear button to clear the session field.
