Thanks for your reply.
When I issue "ping /?" I do see the option for the -a switch.
Just for grins I built a fresh load of xp sp2 from scratch today on a test
machine. With this test box the feature still did not work! The only thing
that I installed other than the windows updates was the adminpack.msi from my
w3k server sys32 dir.
Tommrow I am going to try to get this to work on another XP pc in my domain,
if I can see it work on another xp box then I can compare the two and try to
determine what the hell I am doing wrong- or not dooing.
One thought that I had....
I remember installing the XP version of IPv6, I can remember if this is
pre-sp3 or not but it's the only updated that i installed that was not listed
as "critical".
Thanks again for your help...
