PING does not work

z28mamba · 05-18-2009, 11:49 PM

When I type ping at the command prompt I get " 'ping' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

What can cause this, also ipconfig returns the same type of error.

the ping.exe name has been renamed or file missing, you can try "ping6.exe" in cmd windows.

"ping6.exe for IPV6...So Copy ping.exe to C:\WINDOWS\system32 from Working Machine

Thanks, i actually found the reason. My path statement did not have c:\windows\system32 listed anymore. If I type that at the command prompt all the commands work great.
