All the versions of Windows also contain the ping tool. To ping a remote host follow the procedure below.

Click Start and then click Run. Now type  ping <ip address or hostname>

(For example: ping yahoo.com)

This means that the attacker logged on using “provider.com”.

Unfortunately, there are several IP addresses that cannot be converted

into domain names.

For more parameter that could be used with the ping command, go to

DOS prompt and type ping /?.
