Type terminal into the Spotlight search box. This displays a list of apps that match "Terminal."
Double-click Terminal. It's below the Spotlight search box. Doing so will open the Terminal app.
Type in ping [IP]. This is the Terminal command to ping a computer or website. Replace "[address]" with the address of the computer or website you want to ping. For example, to ping W6, you would type in ping 172.30.30.50 there.
