# ping
> Send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to network hosts.
> Unlike Unix-like systems, Windows `ping` sends only 4 packets by default.
> More information: <https://learn.microsoft.com/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/ping>.
- Ping a host 4 times:
`ping {{host}}`
- Ping a host a specific number of times:
`ping -n {{count}} {{host}}`
- Ping a host continuously (until stopped with `<Ctrl c>`):
`ping -t {{host}}`
- Set the timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply:
`ping -w {{milliseconds}} {{host}}`
- Set the buffer size of the ping packet in bytes:
`ping -l {{bytes}} {{host}}`
- Ping a host using a specific source IP address:
`ping -S {{source_ip}} {{host}}`
- Resolve address to hostname:
`ping -a {{host}}`
