4. Diagnostics
This page offers basic diagnostic tools for you to utilize when connectivity problems occur. When you ping
an Internet device, you send a packet to its TCP/IP stack, and it sends one back to yours. To use the ping
Test, enter the information needed and press Start Test; the Result will be displayed in the lower part of the
window. Press Abort Test to stop, and Clear Results to clear the result contents. Note: Firewalls may cause
pings to fail but still provide you TCP/IP access to selected devices behind them. Keep this in mind when
ping a device that may be behind a firewall. Ping is most useful to verify connectivity with PCs which do not
have firewalls, such as the PCs on your LAN side.
