of configuration are summarized below:

Using Ping
Ping is available on the System > Diagnostics page.
The Ping test bounces a packet off a machine on the Internet
and returns it to the sender. This test shows if the SonicWALL
security appliance is able to contact the remote host. If users on
the LAN are having problems accessing services on the
Internet, try pinging the DNS server, or another machine at the
ISP location. If the test is unsuccessful, try pinging devices
outside the ISP. If you can ping devices outside of the ISP, then
the problem lies with the ISP connection.
