Actually, ping is installed.

  # ll win/windows/ping.exe
  -rw-r--r--   1 particle wheel       28672 May 11  1998 win/windows/ping.exe

  # ll win/windows/tracert.exe
  -rw-r--r--   1 particle wheel       20480 May 11  1998 win/windows/tracert.exe

 I understand the superiority of Linux, however, this "undocumented feature"
of ICMP.dll not loading seems to relate to DNS queries failing.
Thus, when DUP connects successfully, network apps do not work.

 Is it possible to direct networking through ipchains--when Win4Lin doesn't
detect or install a NIC device?

Right, but shat about a full-screen that is not windowed under X?
