Try this below. Its interesting. If you have some "0"s in your IP address, you can leave them out of a ping and it will still ping just fine (provided it will respond anyway). Below, I'm pinging 10.0.0.91, but as you can see, I only type in 10.91 instead.

I just tried it and it appends the zero to the end. ie. I have a 10.0.1.x subnet. If I type in 10.1.1, it pings 10.1.0.1. Figured I'd mention it, this is off a Win10 workstation.
