I have Windows XP, SP #2, 4200+ AMD CPU.
When I run PCPitstop it shows for PING 0 ms, yet it uploads and downloads
fine, or I would not even be able to access this newsgroup.

When I go to "RUN" and the "CMD" and type "ping pcpitstop.com" it comes back
and says it does not recognize such a command.

What is causing this?

What happens when you open a Command Prompt
(Start / Run / cmd {OK}) and type this command:

%SystemRoot%\System32\ping.exe pcpitstop.com{Enter}
 
DSLReports.Com is another site that accepts Ping traffic and is
good for testing.

Same thing. It times out. 4 requests sent, 0 received.

What firewall are you using? Go to its forum and see how to allow ping
requests through it.
