Yep, I hadn't realized it but ping under MinGW is running the Windows one. >> Cygwin ftp.

I'm 99.9% sure that Cygwin ping has worked fine from that account up to now (now being when I installed Vista SP1). But based on your comment I just tried opening a Cygwin bash window using "Run as administrator" and from that window ping works OK. >Use the native Windows ping. It's using a special API for the ping >functionality instead of trying to use raw sockets directly. Yep, that I can easily do. Thanks.
