Utility Ping: How to start a ping?
Once you have specified the addresses you would like to ping, you can start it by simply pressing the "ping" button, an alternative way is to choose from the Menu Toolbar, open the "Run" menu item and choose the "Start" item. You can also click the icon on the system tray with the right mouse button and choose the "Start" item.
The ping interval is at your charge, the default interval is zero second which means the shortest interval, you can set it for a longer one. After the ping process starts, you would get the results view including the information of "Address", "ttl", "times" and "bytes".
Maybe you are interested in what is the corresponding IP address of a domain name or the domain name for an IP address, or the location of a website, and maybe you would like to estimate the approximate connection speed. You can find the answers to these questions in Utility Ping. Just move the mouse onto one specific address, double click it and there appears a popup window presenting you detailed information about the ping process which involves the following three parts:
(1) General Information:
This part informs you the domain name, IP address and specially, the location of that address and the approximate speed through which you may have a judgment on whether the connection is good or not;
