pinging, an easy question then

[fleamailman]

again I am shadowing a thread, this time about internet connection, cmd stuff I am really weak, each one I understand and yet I cannot see why he is asking this


1. Do you get valid IP information on the card. For example it shouldn't be something like 169.x.x.x.), start / run / cmd then IPCONFIG /ALL

2. Can you start / run /cmd, then PING 4.2.2.1 and get a reply

3. Can you start / run /cmd, then PING www.yahoo.com and get a reply

Flea,

In general, the ping test is used to check if there is a line problem, or a software problem.

Do you have a more specific question?

4.2.2.1 is the Verizon DNS server. Pinging it shuld get a response. This tells you the connection to the web is working.

thanks so at the end of these three questions, if they are all positive, it will tell the advisor that the victim's internet connection is running and that it is some other reason why there in no running Internet, am I right then

This was the reply how do I read it as OK?
