Is it possible that the host that you are trying to ping is not answering? Here is an example where the host does not respond. ping www.usmc.mil PING www.usmc.mil (192.156.19.111) 56(84) bytes of data. (^c) --- www.usmc.mil ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 4014ms I'm trying to better understand your goal. Testing dns resolution is better done via nslookup, dig, or host commands.
