Visual Ping Tools to Test if a Host is Reachable
Free Graphical Ping Utilities to Check Network Connections
These freeware "ping" software let you check if a particular host or server is reachable or alive. They send an ICMP echo request packet to the server
and wait for a response from the server. (If that reminds you vaguely of a submarine's "ping", the association is probably intended.) While most modern
operating systems like Windows,
Linux, Mac OS X,
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc, probably already have command line
versions of ping available out-of-the-box, the free visual ping tools here distinguish themselves by being graphical programs that let
you ping a server without having to open a command prompt. Some of them also have additional features.

PingInfoView lets you ping multiple hostnames and IP addresses (which you can specify singly or as an IP range), and view the result in the program's window in a sortable tabular format. It reports the number of successful and failed pings as well as the average ping times. The results can be saved into an ASCII text file, an HTML file, an XML file or simply copied into the clipboard. You can configure the frequency of the pings.

- Citricle Ping (Windows)
This ping program sounds an alert when a ping request is successful or when it timed out. According to the website, the main purpose of the program is to alert the user when the internet connection to the host is started or stopped. The alert is configurable, in that you can set it to only alert you on success or on error. It can be minimized to the system tray, and also to log the pings into a text file.
