How does it seem to you that ping is missing? Do you get some error
message?

My ping.exe is in the c:\windows\system32 folder and a few other
places. If you find it in there and can run it from there but not
someplace else, maybe c:\windows\system32 is not in your path (but
probably should be).

From your cmd prompt, type cd\ <enter>, then type dir ping.exe /s
<enter> and see if it is on your system at all.

If it is not in c:\windows\system32 copy it from one of the places it
is and try again.

See what you can find out and report back if you need more help.
