How to ping a game server with port ?

I thought the same seems quite obvious, but it wont work.
It would ping web server ip's but when i add port it say's
"Ping requested could not find host 46.109.115.200:28015 Please check the name and try again

see if you can ping this 46.109.115.200:28015.
 
Remove the port number and hope the server responds to ICMP i.e. ping 185.65.45.34 if it doesn't respond to ICMP then you'd need to known the protocol the service on that port is running and whether there is a way to get a timed response from it - usually enough just to send a handshake packet and then disconnect after the reply.

Much more complicated and usually requires some additional software for timing and understanding of the protocol used by the game server to do a dummy handshake to time the response. (Unless you are just testing to see if the port is open at all rather than find the latency).
 
ICMP seems to be disabled on 46.109.115.200

I did a tracert to it and it was into the 60ms from a fairly low latency UK connection before it hit the point where it started timing out due to routers not responding.

If there is a game server running on the port you can usually stick the IP into favourites for the relevant server browser and get a ping that way.

EDIT: Not getting any response on that port so either nothing is running on it or its not open to the internet.

The IP (46.109.115.200) on it's own wont ping either. It's a Rust game server, im searching now what protocol it's using.
 
Seems down

Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
