I've used a simple .bat file to recycle through a ping command in order to
keep open my internet connection through my cell phone when I use it. It's
always worked well through the many upgrades from sp1 to sp2 etc.

Now, because HP said they couldn't create me a boot disk, I had to do a
complete fresh install using an OEM WinXPsp2 (and new codes from a call to
MS). But, now, I cannot get the batch file to work. The cmd.exe window
comes
up but no command lines are either shown or processed. I've tried
disabling
my zone alarm firewall and rewriting the bat file- all to no avail..

To me, it seems like there's a setting not set right - one that might have
not overwritten defaults the first time when upgrading; but, now which
doesn't get set correctly during a fresh install.

Can someone tell me how to get a .bat file to work in order to Ping -
using
WinXpxp2 ???

@echo off
:again
ping www.google.com
ping localhost -n 120 > nul
goto again

If this does not work then you need to tell us exactly what
happens when you run it.

BTW, unless you enjoy re-inventing the wheel, you should
back up all tools (such as this one) and programs/drivers
(such as those you download from the Internet).
