I have a question... how do you ping a site and then use that to get to the site that you pinged?

you can ping a website using
"ping website" ie. ping www.yahoo.com
to get to the website open up internet explorer and type "www.yahoo.com" in the address bar.

Depends on the site, most sites have their ICMP turned off meaning you can't ping them or send echo requests for lack of a better term.
So if you tried pinging one of those you will get a time out error.
Now a question for you would be are you trying to ping an IP and get the DNS (web address) for the site? Or are you trying to figure out if the site is available first before going to it?
If the site/IP you are trying to ping is on your network and it doesn't respond then chances are there is a break in network communications.
Hope you get an idea of what's at least going on.

Ping is no way related to ur machine gettin connected to the other machine. Its just a command to verify whether there's a machine on the other end with that ip address.
it doesnt connect u to another machine.
