  1. Enter ifconfig and press Enter.
  • All configured IP addresses are displayed.

 

Establishing the Client IP Address

  1. Open a command prompt.
  1. Click the Search Windows symbol.
  1. Enter cmd in the input field.
  1. Enter ipconfig /all and press Enter.
  • All configured IP addresses are displayed.

 

Checking Network Connection

  • The IP addresses of the server and client are known.
  1. Open a command prompt on the client.
  1. Enter ping [ip-address server] and press Enter.
  • An attempt is made to establish a connection to the server over the network. Four packets are sent to the server here. Once the server receives these packets, it acknowledges receipt and sends the packets back to the clients.
  • The specified IP address was reached or could not be reached.

It is possible that some packets are lost. If this only happens sporadically, the loss can be ignored. However, the loss of multiple packets can result from faulty cables, defective network devices or an overloaded network. This can lead to a deteriorated transmission speed. Make sure to inform your administrator in any case.
