is that it never stops anymore with <control>-c ... I have to use the "kill" command to stop it. I'm using net-misc/iputils-020927.
Is something wrong with my setup?
Nope, unless you think the method that 'ping' on Windows works is "correct". On Windows, it pings (4) times and stops. On *nix, I don't know how many times it will ping before it stops. If you want it to ping 'x' number of times, use 'ping -c X site', where 'X' is the number of times you want it to ping.
You could also create an alias that makes ping only ping "x" number of times instead of having to specify it each time.
