Verifying the TCP/IP installation

To verify that the CICS® Universal Client can communicate with CICS servers, use the TCP/IP PING command to check the route to the CICS server:
        ping [machine address | name]
To start PING, enter a command like the following:
        ping 192.113.36.200 
where 192.113.36.200 is the IP address of your CICS server. If you are using a Domain Name Server (DNS), you can specify the symbolic host name rather than the IP address of the server.
If the statistics message shows a value other than 0% packet loss, it is possible that TCP/IP is not correctly configured:

The PING command differs slightly, depending on your operating system. For more information, refer to the documentation supplied with your operating system.

Refer to TCP/IP settings for information on TCP/IP settings.
