Ping

[Dave]

I get the following message when I try to use the ping
command at the command prompt:

'ping' is not a recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

make sure you have ping.exe found at c:\windows\system32.

Hi

Check your computer for ping.exe

You should have it in at least some / all of these locations

C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
C:\WINDOWS\system32
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

If C:\WINDOWS\system32 doesn't have it then copy it to there

Right Click My Computer > Properties > Adavanced > Environment Variables

Highlight "path" in lower windows and click "edit"

DONT delete what's there but check it's something like

%SystemRoot\system32;SystemRoot%;SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem

(it may have a few xtra bits with a semicolon separating)

Make sure it includes %systemroot%\system32

Hope this helps

Jon
