You may be getting the result of the Powershell rather than the ping.
You may want to simply exec ping.
With Powershell you may have to create a script that captures the result of the
command and exits with the error indicator. If Powershell works similar to
Unix/Linux/Solaris etc. shells, you are adding an additional level of
abstraction. Errors often don't flow up the process stack unless you set the
criteria to do so.
As noted by some other posts, ping is testing the interface, not the OS. Ping
can succeed even when the host OS is down or the service you want is down
depending on the network card that is installed.

I have a Powershell script that contains the line "exit 2" when ping fails

[exec] Pinging host2 ...
[exec] error: 11010 occurred
[exec] LastExitCode: 0
[exec] error.count: 0
[exec] *Result: 1*
How to I capture the 1 with Ant ?
In Ant, I have
failonerror="false"
resultproperty="build_main.debug">
