    [I DON`T KNOW IF THIS WORKS ON MAC]

    First open up CMD Promt (Command Prompt)

    Next type in Ping

    Once ping is typed in put the URL, or IP address of the computer or server you are trying to ping.

    (you can even ping yourself lol :D)

    or there are websites for this, because not everyone uses windows or has access to command prompt. This is a good way of testing.

    Every operating system has the ping shell command.
    Even my IRC bot has a ping function.

    Yes I know kuke, but the websites are the better way imo because it is just easier than going in and finding your console/commandpromp/etc to do the ping command.

    I'm pretty sure I didn't quote you and said you were wrong.
