Network Troubleshooting using the PING Command

In today's tutorial, we will be using the PING command to diagnose network troubleshooting problems. The ping command sends an echo request to another device and expects an echo response. If there is a response that means the destination device is working. If there is no response, the destination device is not working or not reachable. PING works under the ICMP (Internet Message Control Protocol) and is a perfect network troubleshooting tool.

Can you make more computer and networking videos? Good helpful videos

[thechuckday]

Thank you for an informative thorough video. I'm taking a basic computer troubleshooting class, and the class information tells us to ping without explaining why. This was very helpful. Thanks again.

[Bahai]

Excellent! One of the best tutorials I've seen. Thanks

[mperu]

how about a video that explains what the various ping failures mean, like cannot be reach, transmit failure, etc..

[jndominica]

The address you tried 192.168.1.5000 was treated as a hostname because it is not valid. The ping request never actually went out. If your server was down, you could actually get a response (meaning, only the particular service isn't working), get a destination host unreachable (server is completely offline), or a timeout because the packet (or the response) was droped along the route.

Could you explain the difference from a high packet ping and a regular packet ping and how to do it? Thank you love your videos

[menchieescobar]

Hi. I lost 100% when I ping gmail.com. It makes sense because all other websites are fine, it's only on gmail I can't access. Same with other PCs in my network. Do you have a suggestion on what to do? Your tutorial helped me a lot. It confirmed that there really is a problem with my gmail connectivity. TIA

[MissDivyamalar]

Solid.. i hv a better understanding now tq

HI. THE VIDEO WAS GREAT AND YOUR ACCENT VERY NICE. I UNDERSTOOD WHOLE WORDS. MY QUESTION : WHEN I PINGING TO MY ROUTER
(192.168.1.1) TTL IS 254. IS THERE ANY PROBLEM WITH MY ROUTER?

[xkaexhdx]

hi why when i wanna see if a host is dead or alive by typing in cmd ping the an ip address it will always say request timed out for any ip i type in.. used to work perfect few days ago now it does this thing..

[meersad]

Every 2-3 hours mine become request time out and then destination net unreachable. If i reboot the router then everything went back to normal. My config is router - switch - pc.

[nisargaparamesh]

What if we give "test.com" which it says request timed out
What does it mean? Test.com is not in vicinity?

[zaedtonmoy]

when i ping to mu router the time is too much high..50 ms-1000ms..what should i do?this is why i am facing trouble in online games too

[chundurusriharsha]

I used an ip address and it shows me "Request timed out." and says 100% loss.What is the problem?May I know the reason

[tonybroncz]

what if other website dont limit the packet you can send to them, does that mean it is vunerable to ddos attack without a bot? man that is a very dangerous command

[RakibulIslam-fizb]

what purposes I use troubleshooting command ?

[ScopedNightmare]

I ping my router's ip and even other server ips, I get a request timed out and all packets lost yet I can still access the internet just fine however I can not access teamspeak servers etc. I dont know what the hell is going on.
