Explanation
PING sends ICMP Echo Request packets to a target IP address or hostname and waits for a reply. A successful response confirms the target machine is powered on and reachable over the network. IPCONFIG shows local network configuration, NETSTAT displays active connections on the local machine, and NSLOOKUP resolves DNS names - none of these remotely confirm another machine's online status the way PING does.
