Ping
Determine if a host is reachable, and helps determine why it may not be. There are some ancillary tasks that can also be accomplished with this tool:
- Forward and reverse DNS lookups.
- Populate the ARP table to facilitate MAC address lookups.
- If you ping your broadcast address, then look at the ARP table, you can usually get a good idea of what computers are on your network (basic network discovery).

ARP - Address Resolution Protocol
