Troubleshoot a TCP/IP Network Using the Ping Utility
Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request
packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can easily
troubleshoot a TCP/IP network by using the ping utility in your computer.
Test the LAN Path to Your Router
You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up
correctly.
To ping the router from a computer running Windows 95 or later:
1. From the Win
dows toolbar, click the Start button, and select Run.
2. In
the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:
ping 192.168.0.1
3. Click OK.
You should see a message like this one:
Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you see this message:
Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the path is not working, you see this message:
Request timed out
If the path is not working correctly, you could have one of the following problems:
• W
rong physical connections
- Make
sure that the LAN Port LED is lit. If the LED is off, follow the instructions in
Connecting to the Internet on p

the addresses are on the same subnet.
Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device
After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote
device.
