Tips & Tricks
- While a reply to the ping statement indicates the target computer is active, it does not necessarily guarantee it is providing the services you expect. For example, an FTP server may respond to a Ping command, but if the FTP services are disabled, you will be unable to connect via an FTP command.
- A perfectly functioning device might not reply to ping requests if it is configured to filter Ping (ICMP) traffic.
