running XP home with SP1 my ping command don't work. When I type ping space
address from a command prompt, I get the following msg,. ping not recognized
as an internal or external command etc.
 
Hi John,

Try doing a search of all files and folders on your machine for "ping.exe".
It should be located in windows\system32. If you find it else where copy it
over.


Thanks,

Thank you Marc,
Ping found and in the right directory, so no help.
However, you got me thinking. Did a search for command.com. found several???
the one in windows/system32 did the job. deleted short cuts to others and
now can ping from the run line. Thanks again
