Back in November I.
published a video about using the ping command on a Windows computer. The factor for that was to show a simple technique to inspect if a website is down or if there is a problem on your end..

Utilizing the ping command in the command prompt window on your computer system might look like something just computer system science instructors and students should do, but the truth is that any instructor or trainee can gain from understanding how to do it. Running a traceroute might appear like something only a computer science teacher or trainee should know how to do, but its actually something that anyone can benefit from knowing how to do..
A traceroute shows you the hops or connection points in between your computer and the destination (frequently a website). Run a few traceroutes with your students and see if theyre surprised by what they see.
