Sure you can run ping.exe and tracert.exe, but good luck with parsing the results properly and reliably, in all translations of all (including future) versions of Windows...


Who cares about that? If his OS is English, then he's all set. ping.exe's output will be the same on all English Windows OS'es, so I don't see the problem really. It's a solution for him without requiring a DLL, it's not meant to be a universal solution for all languages.
