  • Use the ping command to check the availability of various routers in a network topology, and  use the traceroute command to check the path that packets travel between routers..

  • Addiotional Info :

    you can get to know the iP address of a host by using Ping.

    Other similar tools are


    nbtstat -a HOSTNAME
    Shows the IP address of the host, and also its other information

    netstat -a
    Shows the list of all open connection along with the port number

    netstat -n shows IP address instead of host

  • Is the "nslookup" command substitute of "ping"???
    Wednesday, June 6, 2007 5:28 AM
  • @Raghuram - The nslookup isn't an alternative for ping. But you can also check whether a domain is up or not, also you can get the IP address of the domain. But its just to lookup the IP / domain or the name server .
