Too funny:D :D :D :D :D ;)
Iagree it's 10 P.M. here But only 2 P.M. there.

Ahahah, no.. The type of "ping" we are referring to exists in the land of networking. When you send a "ping" from your computer to another computer on a network (the Internet is just one BIG network) it tells you how long it takes for a data communications packet to go from your computer to the other and back. The higher the PING, the greater the communications latency or "lag" for connections and data transmission on each and every connection/request to a server. A high ping could be due to low bandwidth, network bottlenecks within the route your data packets takes round trip, along with a whole list of things I'm not even widely knowledgeable about (i.e. I am not a network engineer). I know enough to be dangerous in networking land, but my area of expertise is Web Development (programming in general), Mustangs, and to a lesser degree business/management...

If you'd like to do a ping test to any site on the Web, just run the MS Dos prompt (Command Prompt) under "Start | Programs | Accessories" in windows and type "ping somedomain.whatever". For example, "ping forums.mustangworks.com". You can also do a "tracert somedomain.whatever" that will tell you the exact route your data takes to get to the server and the ping at each point along the way.

Hope that helps... Peace! :D
