ping is a command you can used in the MS-DOS box (or command line) which measures the response times from a particular server, measured in milli-seconds (MS).
Obviously, the fewer MS it takes to recieve a reply, the quicker the response. It's particularly important for online gamers as a slow response (ping) can affect how well the game plays - if the response is too slow it can be impossible to play as the games go very jerky..
For an example, click on start - run, and type in cmd into the box.
Then type in 'ping ispreview.co.uk' and hit enter - you will get 4 ping readings.
If you aren't an online gamer, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
