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

linux user
