To ping a computer, you need to open the Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac). Type ‘ping’ followed by the IP address or domain name of the computer you want to ping. For example, to ping google.com, you would type “ping google.com” and press enter. The output should show the results of the ping.
In order to ping a computer, you will need to open a command line interface (CLI) on the computer that you want to ping. If you are using a Windows computer, you can access the CLI by typing “cmd“ into the search bar. Once you have opened the CLI, you can type the following command followed by the IP address of the computer you want to ping:
ping <IP address>
For example, if you wanted to ping the computer 192.168.1.1, you would type “ping 192.168.1.1“ into the CLI and press enter.
