Lab 02 · Are You There?

A ping is a tiny test message that asks another computer, 'Are you there?' If a reply comes back, the two computers are connected. You will send one that works and one that fails, so you can tell the difference.

What you will do

  1. Send a ping
  2. Count the replies
  3. Ping an empty address
  4. Read the error
