Ping command gone... impossible?

[Colonel]

I just installed XPx64 on a new AMD x64 x2 4800+ system I built, and pinging our servers is producing wierd results. Either they come back in the > 90,000 MS range (but it only takes about a second per ping, as normal), or they come back with ~-8 ms. Yes, negative eight milliseconds.

Pings were the same as other machines when we put x86 on the box... (for other reasons).

Just thought I would ask as see if any one had seen this before...

Your topic title is misleading. It lead me to believe you were missing ping.exe from C:\WINDOWS\system32. Please be more accurate in the future.

90,000 MS range? Sounds impossible to me. That's a strange one...

I'd have to suggest that you check safe mode w/ networking, because that just seems odd - like a driver issue (obviously the hardware's fine, as it works in x86 - the only real difference would be drivers).
