Ping Responses
Question: While using ping we get "REQUEST TIMED OUT" some times and other times we get "DESTINATION HOST UNREACHABLE". What is the difference between them?

Answer: Timeout means one of the following:
- A router is down
- Destination host is down
- No route back to your computer
- Respose took too long
Unreachable means that a router on your network or your ISPs network does not contain the entry that provides access to even look for the destination.
