Ok, still valid is that from at least NT 3.x upwards there is no other way than finding "TTL=" for reply from pinged machine. But Ron, don't you accept that 'request timed out' is out of the loop (if one likes to provide a global valid solution) as for the possible 'BAd Ip Address' one always can have due to resolution problems, especially with WINS ?
Anyway, if my little time allows I will test this evening from my daughters ME installation
