RenePlease note that to get a reply for a ping, data needs to move in BOTH directions. If you don't get a REPLY to your ping, several things may be wrong:* The ping doesn't reach the destination computer
* The destination computer is set up to ignore pings
* The ping-reply from the destination can't get back to you
Causes for the first and third point may include problems with the physical connection, problems with the default gateway on the computers, routing problems, rules such as ACLs that block specific types of messages.

Which utility can be used to determine end to end connectivity between source and destination?
ping is the easiest.
How do you find out what your ping is?
On Windows you go to Start > Run > Type "cmd" without the quotes ENTER type "ping ", followed by the IP address of the server you want to ping. ex. "ping www.google.be" ENTER The response time is your ping. (basically it's a measurement of time needed to send a signal between your PC & another PC or device.)
What network command troubleshoot network connectivity between 2 computers?
I believe you are talking about the "PING" command. Open a "command" prompt and type ping/? it will give you all the parameters.
What does ping timeout mean?
The network command 'ping' issues a series of standard, small messages to the destination network address specified by the user. For example: ping 192.168.0.1 This command will send a number of 'ping' messages to the computer on the network with IP address 192.168.0.1 Upon receiving these messages, the destination machine will echo the same message back to the sender. This is used as a simple check of the network connectivity between the two computers on the network. Since an unreachable address will result in no message being returned, the sending machine must know how long to wait before considering the message lost. This time is known as the 'timeout'. By default, it is 1000 millisecond (1 second) but it can be set to any time by the user with the '-w' option. For example: ping -w 2000 192.168.0.1 This will cause the ping program to wait for two seconds before considering a ping packet lost.
A technician uses the ping 127.0.0.1 command What is the technician testing?
The ping 127.0.0.1 has host name Loopback, and is used to ping your server to verify software. On the command prompt, the technician would type, PING '127.0.0.1' or PING LOOPBACK.
