Getting off-topic, but if I assume correctly that you are running
linux, may I recommend a book called "Running Linux", but Matt Welsh,
et.al.?  It will give you a lot of guidance as you sort these details
out...

In the end, you should be able to see this kind of result locally:

% ping localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1) from 127.0.0.1 : 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.1 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.0 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.0
ms
