A user told me that she had seen someone go to altavistas and type in ping followed by some symbol along with her name and up came a list of all websites she had visited. has anyone heard of this and how to do it?

This seems completely unbelievable. Are you suggesting that they got a telnet session to altavista and started typing commands? Even if they did, ping doesn't return this type of information.

What probably happened it that they saw the user start to type "www.altavista..." in the browser and a list of similar url's that had been recently visited was displayed by the browser (IE does this, you can choose from the list instead of typing the rest of the url).

most likely someone had hit the button for their history screen which can show up in the left hand portion of the screen if activated. That would certainly show all the recently visited sites . All you do to activate the history screen is to hit the history icon on the toolbar in Internet Explorer.
