How to ping my nic

[Berth]

I'm using a cable internet on my pc. The nic works great on my system, but when i try to ping it, i'm unable to do it. I had checked the network neighborhood properties and it shows that it has the normal display on it. I would like to know that how can i ping my nic? What i need to do in order to ping my nic? Does anyone have any suggestions on the above issue? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

The loopback interface in part of (internal to) the kernel and so you don't need a NIC card to ping the loopback interface. Probably the port that you might be using on your system must be blocked by the firewall.

[Spyrus]

Your NIC cards are not loopback interfaces, their are, for example, ethernet cards.These are different interfaces than loopback interfaces. If you don't have a static IP, you need to know the current IP assigned by the ISP.From the DOS command type: ipconfig.

Your ISPs server should be passing you the information, but it isn’t for some reason. Try switching out the Ethernet cable(most common issue) with a known good cable. You need to find out what the server address is and enter the details into your network settings manually.
