This is the first time i am contributing, hope its usefull

you can see your ip at a number of sites, go to http://www.abeltronica.com/velocimet...=uk&newlang=uk , you can also find your internet speed here.

Well the ping command is used to find if there exists a connection between your system and the given ip address, the different options let you choose the maximum number of hops, and others. you can always use google to get more info abt this

ping sends small data pkt n confirms its reply.
it ensures whether a network is alive or dead.

proxy servers r mainly use for Internet connection shareing on the network... some of us use this tool to change our IP to a public IP...

but while useing proxy the main problem is there is no Voice chatting option in the most popular chat clints....
