You're absolutely right about ping using ICMP and not dealing with ports. If you're trying to check if a specific port is open, tools like nmap or telnet are way better suited for that.
For example, with nmap, you can do something like `nmap -p 80 192.168.1.1` to check if port 80 is open. It’s super handy and gives you way more info than a simple ping to IP port ever could.
Also, if you’re on Windows, you can use PowerShell with Test-NetConnection to check ports. It’s like a modern replacement for telnet.
