That option doesn't seem to be supported on my Windows XP Pro box.  I
get the following:

,----
| bash-2.05b$ ping -c
| Bad option -c.
| 
| 
| Usage: ping [-t] [-a] [-n count] [-l size] [-f] [-i TTL] [-v TOS]
|             [-r count] [-s count] [[-j host-list] | [-k host-list]]
|             [-w timeout] target_name
| 
| Options:
|     -t             Ping the specified host until stopped.
|                    To see statistics and continue - type Control-Break;
|                    To stop - type Control-C.
|     -a             Resolve addresses to hostnames.
|     -n count       Number of echo requests to send.
|     -l size        Send buffer size.
|     -f             Set Don't Fragment flag in packet.
|     -i TTL         Time To Live.
|     -v TOS         Type Of Service.
|     -r count       Record route for count hops.
|     -s count       Timestamp for count hops.
|     -j host-list   Loose source route along host-list.
|     -k host-list   Strict source route along host-list.
|     -w timeout     Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply.
| 
| bash-2.05b$
