Ping acting up
Hi everyone.
I'm getting some weird characters in place of the IP address when I use ping. Here is the output of a ping to google.com:
Code:
Pinging google.com [►] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 216.239.37.99: bytes=32 time=39ms TTL=241

Ping statistics for Où♠:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 39ms, Maximum = 49ms, Average = 43ms
Anyone got an idea of the problem? I'm using XP SP1.

weird !
looks like you need to reinstall TCP/IP
i found an article on that !

When you use the ping command, the output displays characters that replace the IP address. For example, output may be similar to the following:
To resolve this issue, delete the corrupted registry keys, and then reinstall the TCP/IP protocol.
To delete the corrupted registry keys, follow these steps.

Humm... looks like what I needed. I just remember I had to reinstall TCP/IP a few days ago after I started to get some of the symptoms described in the MS article, but not the ping problem:
You may experience one or all of the following symptoms:
# An error occurred while renewing interface 'Internet': An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.
# When you issue the "ipconfig /renew” command, you may receive the following error message: “An error occurred while renewing interface local area connection: an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. Unable to contact driver Error code 2”
I guess I will have to do it again. But not now I'm in the middle of something (for more than 24 hours now) and I can't afford to restart. I'll keep you posted if it works.
Thanx so much Nemory.
PS: Humm.. Croatian? Interesting.

Well, I happen to like (a lot) a croatian girl, and she is giving me a tough time.

Now, let's get back on topic.

I still haven't restarted my computer. I'm trying hard for 2 days now to salvage a messed up CD... Lot of scratches. I managed to get some data, and I'm gonna give up in the next couple of hours if it can't get any better.

I'm sorry I was offline for a couple of days.
I tried the fix in MS article, but it didn't work. I also tried another way found here and it didn't work either. I ended up reinstalling XP (repairing actually) and reapplying SP1. Still nothing.
Thank you anyway. If anyone got some other idea, I'll be thankful.

I don't know much about networking but I'm gonna give it a shot:
The link NemorY linked to was for fixing a domain controller. Maybe this means it's not your computer that has to be fixed, but the machine on the network that acts as a domain controller. A domain controller is a server that authenticates domain logons.
Just a thought. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Now if this isn't that case, my next suggestion would be to backup all your important files, then do a format and reinstall.
Or you could just ignore it. Doesn't seem like it's THAT big of a problem. But I guess that would just be taking the easy way out and you wouldn't learn anything.
