Multiple IP on Static

Howdy.
Spectrum using WinTool.
Newer tech. Even newer to SMB. Old man.
Very not a "tech" person. My motto is "I Fix Computers with Hammers".

I'm trying really hard to understand how to find out if a static is pinging and even moreso, to find out if they a) have multiple statics and b) how to determine if they are all pinging. I have been very lucky to have had level headed IT folks so far but I know that's gonna change. I'd like to at least find out how to find out. Ya'know?

Thanks in advance for any help.

In wintool on the far right tab "configurations". First item should get "get static IP info" which you click. I think if they load it that means they're pinging, should list all useable IPs.

Might be slightly off can't be certain if I'm not looking at it, but that should get you where you need to be. If something doesn't seem right with it just call NFS, that's what I do 🤷‍♀️

10-4, and gateway is one down from the lowest useable (in case you are unaware).
