Pinging your DFE-670TXD Card
Follow these steps to Ping a device:
Ping is the acronym for Packet Internet Groper (PING), a utility to
determine if a specific IP address is accessible.
It works by send-
ing a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply.
Ping
is primarily used to troubleshoot Internet connections.
By sending
out a ping, you are verifying that a specific computer is available.
Since all computers on the network must have a unique IP
address, getting a reply means that a computer is on the network
and can communicate.
If you cannot ping another computer, then
there is probably a problem with the hardware.
Check the cabling
and adapter installation.
If you are unable to network, even when
you receive a reply to your ping, it is probably a software configu-
ration issue.
Verify that all the settings are correct.
1.
Start MS-DOS Prompt.
2.
Type in the following: ping:xxx.xxx.xx.xx, where
xxx.xxx.xx.xx is the IP address to be pinged (i.e.
192.168.0.1.) and hit the “enter” key.
In this case,
computer A is pinging its own IP address.
A successful ping shows four replies.
