Test connectivity to Cisco.srv server on PC

[Santi56]

I am doing an activity in which I am asked for the following:

"Test connectivity to the Cisco.srv server on the PC. From the command prompt, issue the command ping cisco.srv. It may take a few minutes for the ping to return. Four responses should be received, as shown in the figure."

When I try it tells me that the command is invalid. I tried changing the order of the command, but it keeps telling me it's invalid. I think the steps before this one are correct, do you know how to solve it?

No , you did not issue ping command, you did cisco.srv  , not ping cisco.srv

To open a web site by IP, you need www server reachable and set up with some website.  To open a web site by hostname, aka URL, aka friendly-name, You need DNS set up to point to WWW server and your PC must have info about that DNS, in addition to default gateway.  

see my example in https://community.cisco.com/t5/other-network-architecture/host-name-unresolved-cisco-packet-tracer/td-p/4642464

I used ping cisco.srv as stated in the tutorial, but here's the response I got:

Ping request could not find host cisco.srv. Please check the name and try again
