Answer
Dear Friend,
Pinging your own pc assures that your PC can send and recieve the data over lan and internet and your Lan or Modem is ok . Moreover
Ping is the name of a computer network tool used on TCP/IP networks (such as the Internet). It provides a basic test of whether a particular host is operating properly and is reachable on the network from the testing host. Ping provides estimates of the round-trip time and packet loss rate between hosts. It works by sending ICMP “echo request” packets to the target host and listening for replies (ICMP “echo response” packets)
The output of ping, and its cousins, generally consists of the packet size used, the host queried, the ICMP sequence number, the time to live, and the round-trip time, with all times given in milliseconds, and times below 10 milliseconds often having low accuracy.
