a.. If the ping command is not found or the command fails, you can use Event
Viewer to check the system log and look for problems reported by Setup or
the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) service.
a.. The ping command uses Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo
Request and Echo Reply messages. Packet filtering policies on routers,
firewalls, or other types of security gateways might prevent the forwarding
of this traffic.

xp sp2 installs and turns on personal firewall which would block ping
requests. You can either set up firewall to allow ping or disable personal
firewall.
