Ping

[iou]

Thanks a lot pedro and iou but... iou, on ur site it says for vista and 7 and I have xp, does it mean the ping issue is not from my OS and I shouldn't be trying this? x)
just to be sure...

Windows XP does not have this service and thus you do not have the same problem.
Using this solution in your case would only add a row of text to your registry that does nothing, so no you should not use this.
