Troubleshooting the TCP/IP Settings Using Ping

1.From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run.
2.In the field provided, type Ping followed by the IP address of the wireless game adapter, as in this example:
ping 192.168.0.202
3.Click OK.
You should see a message like this one:
Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you see this message:

Request timed out
