Troubleshoot a TCP/IP Network Using a Ping Utility

•Test the LAN Path to Your Wireless VPN Firewall

•Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device

Most TCP/IP terminal devices and firewalls contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can easily troubleshoot a TCP/IP network by using the ping utility in your computer or workstation.

Test the LAN Path to Your Wireless VPN Firewall

You can ping the wireless VPN firewall from your computer to verify that the LAN path to the wireless VPN firewall is set up correctly.

To ping the wireless VPN firewall from a computer running Windows 95 or later:

1.From the Windows taskbar, click Start and select Run.

2.In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the wireless VPN firewall, for example:

ping 192.168.1.1
