Wireless NIC Cards allow people to connect to wireless networks
Ping is a useful command that allows a user to determine whether different network devices are functioning or not. Ping does nothing diagnose or even identify specific problems. Ping simply sends a signal and lets the user know if there was a response from the device. The user can ping the NIC (network interface card) card to see if it is functioning.
Step 1
Open the command prompt. Press "Start," then click on "Run." Where it says "Open:", type "cmd."
