What would it tell you if “ping’d” your gateway and it timed out? What if you “ping’d” a domain and it timed out? What does that mean?

Solution

When you PING and get Request Time Out, then it could be many reason:

This message indicates that no Echo Reply messages were received within the default time of 1 second.
This can be due to many different causes; the most common include:
   - network congestion
   - failure of the ARP request
   - packet filtering,
   - routing error, or
   - a silent discard.

If it shows \"Destination Host Unreachable\"
This message indicates one of two problems:
   - either the local system has no route to the desired destination, or
   - a remote router reports that it has no route to the destination.
