-
your LAN cable is connect or disconnect? ???
-
it is connected
-
In Command Prompt, type ping /? and post the results.
What version of windows?
-
my version is 5.1.2600 the result is same carbon r u mean type it & press enter
-
Yep.
-
5.1.2600 is the command version. Try typing: "ping /?" if you get an error similiar to the below example.
'ping' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
It's likely the command has been disabled as part as your setup since it should be part of the default install for Windows. If you're on a school computer or work computer, it's likely the admin has disabled it.
-
ok then how can i enable it
-
ok then how can i enable it
Quick Question, is this at school or work?
-
what do u mean carbon I'm asking because i want to learn to operate
-
Can you check to see if the file called ping (or ping.exe) is in C:\Windows\System32.
-
there are two files in system32 folder one is ping and other is ping6
-
All right.
In Command Prompt, type the following. (press Enter after each line)
cd "C:\windows\system32"
ping /?
-
thanks for ur help carbon but before i Proceed i want to ask that after enable it can i disable it and is this operation can effect my network or computer
once again thanks for replying my questions
-
First, we have to see if the command even works. Then we can view our options.
As for effecting your computer or network performance, ping won't do anything of the sort.
All it does is look for a host or domain and sees how long it takes to get a reply.
-
its really work! thanks carbon
thank u very much
tell me that is now the ping is enable is it works in a normal way or i have to check it always by this way
-
Try re-opening command prompt and type ping /?
Do you still get the message saying it cannot find the file?
-
yes im still getting that message
-
Strange....I will do more searching on the problem but try this first:
In Command Prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
Do you get the same error message?
-
yes by typing ipconfig i get the same message.
-
All right. This time type echo %path% and press Enter.
What do you get?
-
i get this message c:\orant\bin;c:\dev\bin
-
i get this message c:\orant\bin;c:\dev\bin
Ok, I know for sure this isn't right.
Just to make sure, Is this Windows XP?
If it is Windows XP, follow these instructions:
Right Click My computer and go to Properties. Click the Advanced tab up at the top.
Click on the Environment Variables button and, in the second list, scroll down until you see a variable called Path.
Select it and click Edit.
Change the Variable Value to %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;
Click OK.
-
I'm using xp pro may i ask what happen when i fellow Ur steps
-
Right now, your CMD (Command Prompt) is looking at the directories c:\orant\bin and c:\dev\bin for the commands you are inputting (like ipconfig and ping).
CMD should be looking at C:\Windows and C:\Windows\System32 (%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;) for the commands.
If you navigate to that location, you will see all the files like ping and ipconfig.
By following my steps, you will change where CMD is looking for the files.
-
OK i will do it thank u for Ur guide :)
-
Good Luck!
-
yes its works thanks the problem is solved
-
Good Work. :)
