Four Steps to Test an IP Connection With Ping

You can test IP connection using ping in many ways:

1. Ping the loopback address to verify that TCP/IP is installed and configured correctly on the local computer.
   Syntax:
   PING 127.0.0.1.
   Click start – run and write following command:
   ping 127.0.0.1 -t
   Press enter.
2. Ping the IP address of the local computer to verify that it was added to the network correctly.
   Syntax:
   PING IP_address_of_local_host
   For example:
   ping 192.168.0.22 -t
3. Ping the IP address of the default gateway to verify that the default gateway is functioning and that you can communicate with a local host on the local network.
   Syntax:
   PING IP_address_of_default_gateway
   For example:
   ping 192.168.0.1 -t
4. Ping the IP address of a remote host to verify that you can communicate through a router.
   PING IP_address_of_remote_host
