To ping another computer:
Start>Run, type "cmd" without the quotes, click OK to open up a command prompt window.
At the command prompt, type "ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" without the quotes to ping by
IP address.
At the command prompt, type "ping COMPUTER_NAME" without the quotes to ping by computer
name.
In situations where you can ping a computer by IP but not by name, that is an indicator
that there is something afoul with the DNS (domain naming system).
Here's what a good ping will return:
