Hello everyone. This is my assignment on pinging a web server. This is definitely something to utilize, and check out, and really see what one can do with it. I looked up five different ones. I went to yahoo.com, amazon.com, aol.com, londontown.com, and japanair.com. Down below I have copied and pasted the results for each one.

Its interesting since aol.com and amazon.com did not come up with anything except request timed out. For yahoo.com that worked out well, along with londontown.com. With japanair.com it didn't find the host even though this is is a legitimate website. Thanks all.
