Back in November I.
released a video about using the ping command on a Windows computer system. The factor for that was to show an easy method to examine if a site is down or if there is a problem on your end..

Utilizing the ping command in the command timely window on your computer system may appear like something only computer system science instructors and students need to do, but the reality is that any instructor or trainee can gain from understanding how to do it. Likewise, running a traceroute may look like something just a computer science instructor or student need to know how to do, but its really something that anyone can take advantage of understanding how to do..
A traceroute reveals you the hops or connection points in between your computer and the destination (typically a website). Run a couple of traceroutes with your students and see if theyre shocked by what they see.
