ping command

[Learning Boy]

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?

[Learning Boy]

yes im still getting that message

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

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?

[Learning Boy]

yes by typing ipconfig i get the same message.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

All right. This time type echo %path% and press Enter.
What do you get?

[Learning Boy]

i get this message    c:\orant\bin;c:\dev\bin

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

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

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

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.

[Learning Boy]
