public class ping

{

 public static void main (String args[])

 {

  System.out.println("Pinging Status");

  String ipAddress="www.google.com";

  try

   {

    InetAddress inet=InetAddress.getByName("www.google.com");

    System.out.println("Sending the Ping request to"+ipAddress);

    boolean status=inet.isReachable(5000);

    if(status)

    System.out.println("Status: Destination host is reachable");

    else

    System.out.println("Status: Destination host is unreachable");

    }

   catch(IOException e)

   {

    System.out.println("Host does not exist");
