Ping test - ISP troubleshooting guide

There are two types of ping test that you can run:



1.  Ping the Internal IP Address:


  1. From your desktop, click Start -> Run and type "command" and press enter
  2. The command prompt would appear.
  3. Type "ping <xxx.xxx.xxx.x>" and press enter. ("x" is the IP address provided by your ISP or router IP address)
    • If you get a reply saying "Reply from xxx.xxx.xxx.x: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128" it means your internet works
    • If you get a reply saying "Request timed out", you need to:
      • Double check your network card.
      • You might also want to try it out on a different computer.
2.  Ping the External IP Address:

  1. From your desktop, click Start -> Run and type "command" and press enter
  2. The command prompt would appear.
  3. Type "ping <xxx.xxx.xxx.x>" and press enter. ("x" is the external IP address of any website) or
  4. Type "ping <www.example.com>" and press enter. (this could be any website address)
    • If you get a reply saying "Reply from xxx.xxx.xxx.x: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128" it means your internet works
    • If you get a reply saying "Request timed out", you need to:
      • Switch off your modem and router. Plug them back in. Wait for a couple of minutes.
      • Shutdown and Restart your computer.
      • Check your DNS entries again.
      • Try using the same DNS IP address that your ISP is using.


Did the above fix your problem?
