Performing a Ping Test

A 'ping' is a basic network test that will send messages across a network to a computer and measure the time lapsed from sending to receiving the messages.

To start the ping test, open the command prompt found using the Windows start button then select Run. Enter the word 'cmd' into the Run box as shown in Figure 1.
