--- Comment #2 from JB joachim.backes@rhrk.uni-kl.de 2010-09-17 06:16:35 CDT --- I think: if there exists a ping command in WINE, it should operate correctly.
Sure, I can use the LINUX ping, but if you think so, then a lot of WIN programs are obsolete in WINE (why then WINE supports the InternetExplorers for instance?)
