"Ping" does not work

This happens for one of the following reasons:

• The software settings in the configuration file do not match the physical hardware settings. Correct either one to match the other.

• The ifconfig command pings to the wrong address. Verify the network mask and the sending and receiving IP addresses.

• The target has an invalid IP address or does not have its TCP stack running. Check the destination computer to make sure it works properly.

• A network card with two network connectors uses a different type of network connector than the software. Adjust the hardware or software to use the proper connector.

• The network lacks one or more terminators. Install terminators at the ends of the network.
