The cmd program, also known as the Command Prompt, is the primary command-line interface in

Windows. It allows you to execute various commands, including the ping command, to perform

network testing and troubleshooting.

Here's how to use ping in the Command Prompt:

Open the Command Prompt: Search for 'cmd' in the Windows Start Menu or use the Run dialog

(Windows key + R) and type 'cmd'.

Type the ping command: Enter ping followed by a space and then either the IP address or hostname

you want to test. For instance: ping 8.8.8.8 or ping www.google.com.

Press Enter: The Command Prompt will send ping requests and display the results.

Why other options are incorrect:

Find: The Find utility in Windows is used to search for files and folders based on their content or

attributes.

Start: The Start Menu in Windows provides access to programs, settings, and power options.

ipconfig: The ipconfig command is used to display network configuration information but doesn't

directly execute the ping command.
