The ping results are displayed in the Ping Status text box.
The following are some common displayed results of a ping:
• Normal response - The normal response occurs in one to ten seconds, depending on network traffic.
• Destination does not respond - If the host does not respond, a “timeout” appears in ten seconds.
• Destination unreachable - The gateway for this destination indicates that the destination is unreachable.
• Network or host unreachable - The gateway found no corresponding entry in the route table
