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.
To find out the IP address for a given domain name e.g. en.wikipedia.org, Windows users can go to their command prompt screen (start/run/cmd) or use an external ping utility and enter
