Check in C:\Windows\System32

And see if you have the file ping.exe

That works. But only if i drag/drop (or type the full path). It used to work if i just typed "ping"

I'd expect shit loads to be going wrong if system32 isn't an environment variable...

In a blank cmd window:

cls
cd C:\Windows\System32
ping localhost

If dat working then your missing an environment variable - Rightclick my comp, Advance, Environemnt Variables, under 'Path' should be "%SystemRoot%\system32".

In the command window you can type in SET (press return), if the system32 subdirectory isn't in the PATH= line then that'll be why it ain't working.
