Ping test - Computers & Internet

There may be some problem in your net connection or problem in that ip.Check your connection again and then do ping for some familiar ip's like Google,Yahoo,and so on in cmd.If it works well,check with the IP you need.If it shows the same error again,then sure the problem is on the Ip.You can do ping in cmd by typing ping website name.You can also do ping test at Whoisxy.com .

Ain't it good that your ping is low? ;)
In case you ment your ping is too high:•Try to close all the p2p programs like bittorrent etc.
•Try some other server if you're facing this problem while gaming; the nearer, the better
•go http://www.speedtest.net/ and post your results here

I will help you to know what is Ping!!!!
Ping is a basic Internet program that allows a user to verify that a particular IP address exists and can accept requests.

Ping is used diagnostically to ensure that a host computer the user is trying to reach is actually operating. Ping works by sending an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request to a specified interface on the network and waiting for a reply. Ping can be used for troubleshooting to test connectivity and determine response time.

As a verb, ping means "to get the attention of" or "to check for the presence of" another party online. The computer acronym (for Packet Internet or Inter-Network Groper) was contrived
to match the submariners' term for the sound of a returned sonar pulse.

Tip: To find out the dot address (such as 205.245.172.72) for a given domain name, Windows users can go to their command prompt screen (start/run/cmd) and enter ping xxxxx.yyy (where xxxxx is the second-level domain name like "whatis" and yyy is the top-level domain name like "com").


You can check the ping test in http://pingtest.net/ also you can check that here www.whoisxy.com

You can check the Ping test for your connection at www.whoisxy.com

Can you ping your router?
If you can, log into it and see if you have any problems with it. If you have ADSL, you will see the status of the line as well as whether you are connected or not. You may have a diagnostic feature that will test the connection to your provider.

If you have lost DNS with your provider, you will not be able to ping using names, only by IP addresses.

by "see" you mean it answers to ping test? if so I guess that when you ping some public IP (eg. 4.2.2.2) it does not get a ping reply... right? have you tested pinging an IP address or a internet domain. If IP address works fine but domain doesnt your problem is on DNS resolution, if both of them doesnt work seem something routing/conectivity related, try running a tracert from your PC and see how far you get on the network. If you dont pass your router then you must check its WAN configuration.

You must check if your PC is getting correct IP from your router by running ipconfig on DOS command. The Default Gateway must shows 192.168.1.1. Just to be sure this IP is accessible, run a ping test (Ping 198.168.1.1).

C:\Users\PC>ping 10.1.1.1

Pinging 10.1.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

Ping statistics for 10.1.1.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

C:\Users\PC>

You will see the above results if the test is successful. If it failed, possible a Firewall is blocking the PC to access the Router. Try to disable it and see if it will works. If the same issue or even the test passed but can't access the IP address, reset the router to factory defaults by pressing the small hole at the back of the router. Then do the above steps again to see if you can now access it. Hope this helps.

Ping is one of the first tools to use to check computer, router and Internet connectivity. It's run at a command prompt, but getting the basic information is quite easy. You can do the whole thing in 30 seconds. 1. To run ping, type Start > Run. 2. Type cmd in the Run window, and click OK. A black and white command line window pops up. 3. Type ping followed by an IP address or a DNS address. 4. Press Enter to execute the command. Three useful examples: 1. ping 127.0.0.1 (This is a "loopback ping" ? your computer trying to talk to itself. This tests whether your computer is able to handle Ethernet traffic. If this has a negative result, the computer has an operating system problem.) 2. ping 192.168.1.1 (If the result is "Request timed out", type ping 192.168.0.1. If that also times out, then the computer is not making a connection to your router.) 3. ping www.netgear.com. (Tests whether your computer can contact Internet computers.) When there is no problem, the ping results look as shown in the following screenshot. Three items of interest in the results are highlighted with arrows. The first arrow shows the computer being contacted is replying. (The DNS address "www.netgear.com" is converted by ping into the equivalent IP address, 10.1.1.86.) This shows both that your network is connnected to the Internet, and that that computer on the Internet is running normally. www.netgear.com is always running, so this is a good test address to use. The second arrow shows that Ethernet packets have "0% loss". This is the best possible result. It means that the network connection is lightly loaded, and that it has not been necessary to transmit any of the same information twice. The third arrow shows the average time it took to answer. "Average = 0ms" is the best possible result. Probably you'll only get responses this quickly from computers on your own network. Interpreting Ping when There's a Problem As far as NETGEAR equipment, the problem you're most likely to run into is "Request Timed Out". This means there is no connection. Read these posts: http://www.fixya.com/ThreadView.aspx?prdid=252225&thid=102077 and http://www.fixya.com/ThreadView.aspx?prdid=252225&thid=102074 Another error is "Unknown host", which just means that the DNS or IP address you typed doesn't exist. Probably, you made a typo. Other problems are generally outside the scope of NETGEAR support. Often they are problems with your ISP ? contact them with concerns. A controversial situation is when packet loss is not 0%. Sometimes this indicates a severe problem, but in other situations it doesn't indicate any problem whatever. However anything higher than 5% is definitely a problem. If the average round trip time is > 500 ms, there' s possible latency problem. Again, contact your ISP. Limitations of the Ping Tool * Ping is not a good tool for diagnosing intermittent problems. * Good results are reliable, but ?bad results? could be caused by any number of things, and are not necessarily reliable! * Ping uses ICMP, which has low priority, showing speeds that are slower than regular network traffic. Some computers reject ICMP, and therefore pinging, entirely. * When an IP appears between the source and destination in a traceroute command it does *not* mean that that IP must be pingable.
