PING Command – Troubleshooting Network Problems

The ping command is one of the most helpful network diagnostic tools at your disposal. It is useful for finding problems on your local network and on the wider Internet. Let’s take a look at what the ping command does and how you can use it.

To "ping" something on a network means to send an Internet packet to a destination computer or other network device, asking for a response. That device then sends a packet back to you.

When the package returns (if it arrives), you can learn all sorts of interesting things about the network between you and its destination.
