I cannot ping from c:\ but I can ping from
c:\windows\system32. I checked the path in the
environment and it does seem to list system32 correctly (%
systemroot%\system32 with semicolons on either side).
What else should I check?

THANKS!
Barbara

When you try to ping from C:\ , what does it respond?
