![]() If so, any issues with web browsing are more likely to be due to a faulty web browser (try a different one) or perhaps a firewall issue (temporarily disable it).This method is slow, it takes about 4 seconds to check each IP, so 20 IPs would check them in 80 seconds. Ping is a useful first step in troubleshooting possible ‘internet’ issues – if you receive replies with no errors from a range of websites then you know that your internet connection itself is working ok. Try to reset Windows internet settings to fix any network configuration errors. If you still get an error then there is not a DNS fault and you have no internet access – most likely your network/internet connection is faulty. Type ping 8.8.8.8 then press Enter to ping the Public DNS server.It is also possible to ping an IP address, rather than a website name – this is a good way to rule out a DNS (Domain Name System) fault.Ĭhoose either of Google’s Public DNS servers – 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 as they are the most likely to be constantly available. “Ping request could not find host … etc” – either your network/internet connection is faulty or you pinged an incorrect website name or there is a DNS fault (see next section below)Ĭheck spelling or try another website e.g.Try pinging a few other sites to test if the problem is with that specific website or with your network/internet connection. “Request timed out” – either your network/internet connection is faulty or the website you pinged is itself having problems. ![]() Common Ping Test Error Messagesīecause 4 requests are sent to the website, you may see these error messages repeated up to 4 times – once for each request. We used Google in our examples because they are so big that your pings won’t matter, but they might do to a small website. Tip: it is not nice to constantly ping a website for hours as it uses up a tiny bit of the website’s resources.
