How to ping [some resource] on [some network] on an Android phone or emulator? I have serious doubts that my emulator really can access a certain server. I want to confirm that by trying to ping the server. Is it possible, and how would I do it?
You can use the ping utility from terminal emulator or adb shell.  Also: https://market.android.com/search?q=ping&amp;so=1&amp;c=apps
