The test failed to ping a host name (specified in the Connection Name attribute of the channel).
This failure could be caused by an error in the specification of the host name, because the remote server does not accept ping requests, or because the remote server is unavailable.
This test uses the operating system's ping utility. This utility is not available on all computers, so this test does not run when a ping utility is not available.
The Connection Name attribute does not contain a value. Without a valid connection name, the ping test cannot be run.
