Back in November I.
released a video about using the ping command on a Windows computer. The reason for that was to reveal an easy technique to inspect if a site is down or if there is a problem on your end..

Utilizing the ping command in the command prompt window on your computer system may appear like something only computer technology teachers and students need to do, but the reality is that any instructor or student can benefit from knowing how to do it. Likewise, running a traceroute might appear like something just a computer science teacher or student ought to understand how to do, however its really something that anybody can benefit from understanding how to do..
A traceroute shows you the hops or connection points in between your computer system and the location (typically a website). Run a few traceroutes with your trainees and see if theyre shocked by what they see.
