Hi

You can use the same ping command as in windows

ping <ip address>

ping 192.168.0.1 at the virtual console this can bring up by pressing <ctl +alt=f1> or at the terminal window of GNome /KDE

to stop the output press <ctl +c>

hi dear its so simple
alt+f2 -> opens run box
type konsole, Os opens konsole
do ping google.co.in
If you have internet connection open
www.dnsstuff.com
there is one input box with ping in a blue color heading located at right hand bottom corner
type there the domain name like google.co.in
also search more information regarding to ping by
$man ping
Regards,
linux user
