Pinging is a command which tells you if the connection between your computer and a particular domain is working correctly.
Steps:
See the image below for pinging and how the results are diplayed. In this example the domain name used was facebook.
Results:
If the results show a series of replies, the connection is working. The time(ms) shows you how fast the connection is. If you see a "timed out" error instead of a reply, there is a breakdown somewhere between your computer and the domain. Pinging also gives us the IP address of the domain. In this Example: The IP adress of Facebook was 69.171.234.21
