If I go to msdos prompt and type in "ping [ip address]" wothout speechmarsk whats does this do???
 
if you are on a network it will tell you how long it takes to ping the computer with the IP address you used!
 
a ping is an IMCP echo request, it simple is like a hello message that gets returned by the other machine (assumeing the machine is allowed to accept echo requests, a lot of peopole block these by default...
