you just only need to make a space after -w2 because since the ip address is string attached with -w2 that's why is not working to you :)

The ping example is shown here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/316866/ping-a-site-in-python[^].

You only need to replace domain names with your IP address strings, such as "192.168.1.7" "192.168.1.4".
