My computer doesn't recognize the ping commnad. It gives the following error message: " Ping not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Help please.
Try specifying the complete path name for the ping program:
C:\Windows\System32\ping
If that works, all that's needed is to change the value of the "Path"
environment variable that XP uses to find executable files. To see
its value, enter:
echo %Path%
On my computer, that command produces the output:
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
If any of those folder names are missing on your computer, add them
with this command:
set Path=<missing folder names separated by ;>;%Path%
