What do you mean it keeps pinging forever?
does it return numbers like this??

Splinter ~> ping 172.24.38.37
PING 172.24.38.37 (172.24.38.37): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 172.24.38.37: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=0.7 ms
64 bytes from 172.24.38.37: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.6 ms
64 bytes from 172.24.38.37: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=0.6 ms

64 bytes from 172.24.38.37: icmp_seq=5 ttl=128 time=0.5 ms

but keep going??
If so, then that is fine.  hit CTRL-C to end it and it should give you
something like 


--- 172.24.38.37 ping statistics ---
6 packets transmitted, 6 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.5/0.6/0.7 ms

default ping in linux goes on slightly less than forever
unless you limit it.  Default ping in windows is only to do it
4 times.


Hope this helps.
