I am now having an identical problem to what DJ was having last year...only
as far as I can tell, my Path statement is correct.

Here is a copy/pasted cmd session:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Rik>ping
'ping' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Documents and Settings\Rik>tracert
'tracert' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Documents and Settings\Rik>ipconfig
'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Documents and Settings\Rik>path
PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM;C:\Program Fi
les\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
4.1bin;

C:\Documents and Settings\Rik>cd\

C:\>cd\windows\system32

C:\WINDOWS\system32>ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration

If I'm missing something, I'll shut up forever with a slight push in the
right direction.
