Networking – Why does it take a shorter time to ping a website like google than a device on the wireless network

It seems that ping does a name resolution before each ICMP request is sent.

Maybe it is implemented that way, so that a long-running ping will continue to ping the correct host, even when the host<->IP mapping changes during runtime.

If there is a delay in name resolution (for example, because the RR has a very low TTL and your caching DNS server does not enforce a minimum TTL), then you will likely see long delays between each ICMP request, but individual responses having a low TTL.

Long story short, as suggested elsewhere, try ping -n.

Title: Disabling the computer's firewall on a Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 computer

Article ID: 27292

A firewall is a part of a computer system or network that is designed to block unauthorized access while allowing authorized communications.

The Windows 8/8.1 operating system has a built-in firewall that provides security by limiting or preventing unauthorized access to your computer from the Internet. Sometimes a software firewall conflicts with the built-in hardware firewall of the Linksys router; which is why there are instances when you have to disable it.

NOTE: Disabling the Windows Firewall should only be done temporarily to allow downloads or hardware installation on your computer. Changes within the network may require you to re-enable Windows Firewall for your computer’s protection.

Step 1: Press the Windows key on your keyboard and then type “control panel”.

NOTE: A search box will appear on the right side of the screen.

Step 2: Click Control Panel to display all of the contents.

Step 3: Click Windows Firewall.

Step 4: Click the Turn Windows Firewall on or off option.

Step 5: On the Customize Settings window, click the Turn off Windows Firewall radio buttons both under the Private network settings and Public network settings. Click OK.

Your Windows 8/8.1 operating system’s built-in firewall should now be disabled.

Now try to ping Google from your computer. Does that work? I would imagine it will work. I do not have Windows 8 installed, but if my memory is correct the Firewall Interface is similar to the Windows 7 Interface. Here is how I would do this on windows 7.

1. go to Start (metro), type firewall, select the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security icon.
2. In the Windows Firewall window, on the left hand side click on incoming rules.
3. On the right hand side of the Windows Firewall window, under the actions pane, click on Filter by Group > and select File and Printer Sharing
4. In the middle frame, select the File and Printer (ICMPv4 and v6) sharing rules,right click and select Enable Rule.

ICMP is the actual protocol that ping uses, so enabling ICMP will allow you to ping and will allow other machines to ping you.

Here is an example of what it looks like
