Ping: Ping is the best tool to check the network connection on an


outgoing basis. By Using Ping to identify network hosts that respond to
ICMP requests, we can use Ping to constantly submit Ping requests and
find that whether you currently have connectivity to the host. If you are
experiencing connectivity problems, a Ping loop will indicate whether
your connection is active at any given time.

To start a Ping loop, go to command prompt and type

Ping -t IP address

If reply will come out then this show that packet has successfully sent
and if request time out appears then this indicate that computer did
not receive a response from the remote host. The following example
indicates how to monitor the connection to a host at the IP address
10.19.33.122
