Pinging your DFE-690TXD 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 sending 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 it 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 configuration issue. Verify that all the settings are correct.
Start MS-DOS Prompt.
Type in following: ping:xxx.xxx.xx.xx, where xxx.xxx.xx.xx is the IP address to be
pinged (i.e. 192.152.81.85). In this case, computer A is pinging its own IP address.
A successful ping will show four replies.
