    cin>>Address;
    system("ping Address");
    }    
    getch();
    
}

The variables IP and Address are not strings, like they should be, they are integers. You should make them cstrings or std::strings. Also, on lines 22 and 28, you are just calling the system() function with "ping IP" and "ping Address", it does not actually replace "Address" and "IP" with the value that the user inputed.

I would recommend that you make IP and Address std::strings and that you get the input with the getline command like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	string IP;
	
	cout << "Please enter the IP" << endl;
	getline(cin, IP);
}

This means that you will have to call the std::string member c_str() to pass the string you got from the input into the system() function.

[pseudorandom21]

My suggestion (while maybe not the best, but is simple), is:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  const string ping_command = "PING ";
  string input;
  cout << "Enter IP: ";
  getline(cin, input);//<-- gets a line of input into "input"
  string command = ping_command + input;
  //use the command.c_str().
}

.c_str() will return the C style string data the string has. It is required to use the system() function.
