getting this ping is not recognized as
0:13
an internal or external command ping is
0:15
a very important command used in
0:17
networking so if this command is not
0:20
working then the prime reason is that
0:23
you go to your c drive and just search
0:27
for the folder windows
0:30
folder and go inside this folder and you
0:33
will find out a folder called

there if you open terminal here and type
0:49
the same command you will see the ping

command will perfectly
0:52
work so now what you need to do you need
0:55
to simply copy this entire path c

windows system 32 and just you need to
1:02
go to the environment variable and just
1:06
go to the system variable so that it is
1:09
added entirely to the path here this is
1:11
a path variable
1:14
add a new entry and just paste this
1:17
address so as soon as you paste this
1:21
address and just restart your terminal
