If you want to PING using the System Self Test screen (diagnostics page) shown above, enter your DNS or IP address in the fields provided and click on the test button. The System Self Test will run a diagnostic test that executes independent of firewall security settings. See the following table for test descriptions and possible responses.

If you want to PING using the MS-DOS (shell) window, first you will need to check your firewall security setting. (If you PING via DOS shell you are susceptible to firewall rules, as this PING is dependent on your Router's firewall settings.) If your firewall is set to Medium or High, you will not be able to PING. You must set your firewall security setting to Low or None.
