How to check ping failure in logs/event viewer?

Question

Ping had failed(Request timed out) to a target windows 7 system(192.168.0.31) continuously (continuous timed outs) for a time period of one minute.

In the target system 192.168.0.31(windows server 2008), how to check/identify related ping lost logs in "event viewer" (or if any) regarding the ping failure?

Solution

I think you are using Windows target machine. You can create a rule to log in Windows firewall for incoming ICMP request.

Use the below microsoft link how to configure the rule with log

Also you can use third party utilities & sniffing tools.

Welcome at SuperUser. Please specify the failed state: Request timed out message or Destination host unreachable reply or another? And what the for one minute stands for? One minute of good answer(s) and then failure or opposite results? (Please do not reply in comment; improve your question by using edit link rather).
