Also, don't forget that if you are trying to test the ability to "ping," you
need to enter some numeric IP-address; not a host-name such as
"google.com." A host-name must be resolved, via a DNS lookup, and tests of
this are better handled using the command "dig." If you are testing for
communications, look up the IP-address ahead of time.
