Use the Ping utility to verify IP-level connectivity. When troubleshooting, you can use Ping to
send an ICMP echo request to a target host name or IP address. Use Ping whenever you need
to verify that a host computer can connect to the TCP/IP network and network resources. You
can also use Ping to isolate network hardware problems and incompatible congurations.
