I have done that but it's still the same, but I copied the ping program from
Win XP Pro instead of Win XP Home. It's that the reason why it failed?

Yes, I just realised that ipconfig and tracert also are not working. I did
unintall the TCP/IP and re-install but it's still the same
Kindly help

Hi,

This sounds like a path issue.

I suggest you download and run Fixpath.exe, it repairs most
issues with the path.

Fixpath.exe is in fixpath2.zip available here:
http://internet.cybermesa.com/~bstewart/misctools.html

To see Fixpath's output, run it from a command prompt...

You should reboot after running Fixpath.exe.
