Hi there ama,

You can use the icmp.dll which is undocumented , search for it on
google , you should do:

1) LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddess() to use the exported functions:
  IcmpSendEcho()
this is what ping is using...

2) search the web for IcmpSendEcho() and you will find an example.

Hope it helped,
