AFAIK, the native (e.g. the shipped-with-windows) ping doesn't use the ICMP dll either. That's why I installed FPing. However, FPing (or even shipped-with-windows ping) are native, not cygwin progs. I don't like using native progs at all, ever, if I can help it. They always lead to surprises: pty issues in terminals, issues with pathnames, difficulties in complex commands (pipes |), etc. But it was just an idle thought. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
