If you *must* have a ping program that does something *special* then you 
might want to look at libpcap (www.tcpdump.org) and libnet 
(www.packetfactory.net) libraries then you should be able to implement 
whatever functionality you may need, but this (cygwin) would not be the 
correct forum to discuss such a project. Both of these networking 
libraries are available for Win32 and together they let you do almost 
anything you might want. Those sites should have ping-like examples for 
you to start out with and their own listserv.
