Ping Test to Check Internet Connection in Linux and Windows




Checking Internet Connection


After you have connected to any particular network the after some time you may feel that your network is slow down are it went wrong. If you don’t have any idea to check whether you still connected to that network or not then you must know about ping test. Which is simple and effective tool to find the network connectivity and IP address of the host website.


Step 1: Ping for Proxy Connections


Open Command prompt or Terminal by: Applications >> System Tools >> Terminal

Then the Terminal window appears as shown in the Image. Now you just type the command :

ping 10.20.3.3

Then you can observe the data log something like this:
64 bytes from 10.20.3.3: icmp_req=1 ttl=62 time=0.335 ms

64 bytes from 10.20.3.3: icmp_req=2 ttl=62 time=0.288 ms

64 bytes from 10.20.3.3: icmp_req=3 ttl=62 time=0.292 ms

64 bytes from 10.20.3.3: icmp_req=4 ttl=62 time=0.272 ms

...............................................................................................
Which means it is showing the time that is required to download 64 byte of data each trail. When this times as low as possible then the


Step 2: Finding IP Address of host


If you want to find the web server of any website then just type the website name after the ping key word. It typically looks like this:


After that it will show the IP address that operated by the google. Similarly if you observe the above image it is showing the IP Adress : 10.20.3.3

In this case it is a local proxy address. When you are using the proxy server for the internet connection you have to replace the 10.20.3.3 field with your respective proxy address.
Terminal


Step 3: Other Commands:


Usage:


ping [-LRUbdfnqrvVaAD] [-c count] [-i interval] [-w deadline]

[-p pattern] [-s packetsize] [-t ttl] [-I interface]

[-M pmtudisc-hint] [-m mark] [-S sndbuf]

[-T tstamp-options] [-Q tos] [hop1 ...] destination
