Explanation

PING is the correct tool. It sends ICMP echo request packets to a target host and waits for replies, confirming whether a remote device is reachable on the network. If the intranet server responds to a ping, it is online and the issue is likely DNS or application-level. NETSTAT shows active network connections and port statistics. NSLOOKUP queries DNS records but does not test host reachability. IPCONFIG displays the local machine's IP configuration and does not test remote hosts.
