Ping provides a GUI-based version of the traditional command line ping utility. Pinging sends out an echo request to a specific
computer on the network. Use Ping to verify communication links or to make sure a specific IP address is working.
Ping contains three tab windows: Input, Output, and About. Enter and send packet information to a specified remote host on
the Input tab, and see the result on the Output tab. The following fields appear on the Input tab:
