Appendix 1 - Using PING

In Windows, Microsoft has provided a small utility called PING that

can be used to troubleshoot your IP address and connection. The PING

utility is used mainly to test the connection between your computer and a

client computer. Using the PING utility to check a connection can be

helpful in determining where the problem is, whether it be your Broadband

Router, your DSL or Cable modem, or your ISP.

Use the following steps to use the WINIPCFG utility:

§ Click on the Start button and click Run.

§ Type "command" in the Open box.

§ Click "OK" to get to a DOS prompt.

§ Type "ping 192.168.0.1", which is the IP address of the Gateway

in this case, and hit the Enter key. The following screen will be

shown.

C:\>ping 192.168.0.1
