  1. 1 Why is ping not working via Terminal? Many Mac users have found that when updating to Sequoia, the ping command wasn't working in the Terminal properly. To fix this, click on the Apple menu and go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access. Then, toggle on Terminal.
  2. 2 Can I run ping without it being continuous? To ping a certain number of packets instead of running a continuous ping, use the command ping -c [number of pings] [address]. Replace [number of pings] with how many times you want the ping command to run. For example, if you wanted to ping Google 8 times, you would write ping -c 8 google.com.[2]
  3. 3 Why am I getting an error when I try to use ping? There are a few errors you might encounter when running the ping command:
    • Unknown host: This error could mean that the host or domain does not exist, but it also may mean the name cannot be translated into an IP address by your DNS servers.
    • Destination host unreachable: This error means your computer was unable to send any packets to the address. It could be an issue on your end or somewhere between your computer and the host destination.
    • Request timed out: This error means your computer sent the ping request but did not receive a reply. The host may not be online, there could be a network problem on the host's end, or the ping could've been blocked by the host's firewall.
    • Name or service not known: This error means the hostname or address you're trying to ping does not exist. If the host does exist, there's a problem with your network configuration.
