Chapter 14: Test the Networking
Now, the network setting of the computer for Web Server is almost finished.
It's time to test if the network works normally.
Open a command window and test the following:
i) Test the local Address (ping 127.0.0.1)
If you can see a continous stream of messages, such as:
ping 127.0.0.1 from 127.0.0.1 ......................
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain ............
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain ............

The messages continue until you press Crtl + C.
