Pinging a computer or a website allows you to find out whether it is online or how long it takes to respond to your request.
Ping works from a shell prompt.

Steps to ping in Windows 10:
- Open Command Promt or Windows Powershell.
- Type
ping ip_address
. For example:- ping 172.217.194.101
- ping google.com
- Use
ping -t
if you want to continuously ping the IP.- ping -t google.com
