How to
Ping a Website
If you are having problems
resolving your website, you can ping it to see if it is a problem with
your server, or if there is a problem somewhere in the internet as the
connection travels from your computer's internet access through to the
domain in question.
Here is how to Ping
- From the desktop, click
start
- Select Run
- In the Run box, type command
- Click OK
- The DOS window will pop
up. At the C:\WINDOWS> prompt type ping www.yourdomainname.com
and press enter.
- You will see some results
pass through the screen.
- It will tell you if there
were any packets lost in the transfer (0% loss is what you want to see).
- It will also tell you the
average speed, in milliseconds.
- To close the DOS window,
type exit at the C:\WINDOWS> prompt and press enter.
