Ping is a network tool that can be used to test if a host, router or computer connected to the Internet is online or working. Ping can also be used to determine if there are problems with an Internet connection. Some network equipment, such as some modems or routers, will not respond to ping so don't be alarmed if the results indicate "packet loss". Packet loss is caused by network equipment deliberately not responding to requests or if the Internet connection between this server and the equipment being pinged is having problems or has too much Internet traffic going across the network.

IMPORTANT: If you use this tool to ping your IP address your firewall or Internet security software may alert you to the fact that this server is trying to ping you. By clicking the link below to do the ping you acknowledge that you are allowing this activity and you understand we are not trying to attack or break into your systems.
