I am supporting a 3 station peer-to-peer W2KPro network with one MSDE "server" and 2 "clients". The client connection to the MSDE "server" is slow and I noticed PING yields an error "PING not supported etc." on the "server" and one WS. Any ideas? There is no server OS only one WS running MSDE. I want to 'fix' PING. I'll use a Hosts file to solve the name to IP resolution.

You could try reinstalling PING from your Win2k installation disk.

There is no way to ping other platform if your w2kPro have this exe. You should reinstall ping.

How do I reinstall Ping? Do you mean reinstall the whole operating system?
I should have mentioned that other things do not work either, such as chkdsk. The OS came preinstalled on this Gateway desktop. What do you think?
