Problem
IP packet isn’t
reaching its
destination
Possible Cause
No communication
due to poor radio
signal.
Run the PING
command to check
the connection
Possible Solution
2. Enter “IPCONFIG” command, and press [Enter].
(If your hard disk is C drive, enter C:\>ipconfig)
Check that the IP address is correctly displayed
under the IP Address.
Example:
IP address: 10.0.1.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.0.1.1
Shorten the distance between computers or
remove visible obstacles between them, and retry
the connection.
Perform the following steps to run the PING
command to check if the IP packet is correctly
delivered to the destination.
To run the PING command, the TCP/IP protocol must
be installed. First you will determine your IP address,
then you will make sure your IP address can
respond, and then you will make sure other
computers can be addressed.
1. Windows XP: Click [Start] -> [All Programs] ->
[Accessories] -> [Command Prompt].
2.
Type: ipconfig > directory\filename
where directory and filename represent the
location at which you want to store the IP address.
3. Click [Enter], then go to the location you specified
above. The IP address for your system will be
contained in the file.
4. To check that your IP address is functioning
properly, go back to the DOS prompt and type:
ping <IP address>, then press [Enter]. You will
receive several replies, followed by the PING
statistics (similar to below).
