    You have to see if the default device is in the same network as the Box. We must not name more than they have the same default address. So you must connect the device directly to your PC with a crossover cable can be and put a static address to your PC. For example if the device is 192.168.1.1, you turn your PC on 192.168.1.2 (mask 255.255.255.0).

    I think there is much at stake First PING is a utility protocol ICMP (Internet Control Management Protocol). ICMP can be many things as determining if the gateway address has changed, if the channels are used and so on. PING has been established to determine if a host is join able and at the same time whether interface network has the 3rd layers of OSI model functional.

    PING can not determine precisely why. Is this what the host is not online? Is because the host does not have the same addressing logic structure. So , in order to contact a remote host in a local network you must have the MAC address and why the item is preceded by an ARP request.
