in thread Ping not working

"...toolic already pointed this out a little while ago."

No. He wrote that he isn't sure. But perhaps i posted to fast, may be :-(

But i'll take a look at what i did...

Update: I tried the qq as well as the qw version on my Mac and it seems that both ping. I remember that i tried the same stuff on XP at noon but the qw version didn't work. But may be i miss something. Unfortunately i can't reproduce this on XP tonight. But i'll be back.

And please note, when i concede a possible fault i did (because of answering to fast for some reason or what ever) i consider even one down vote as extremely impolite.

    Because there's only one item in the qw// list, that does not make a difference in this case ... toolic already pointed this out a little while ago.

    No. He wrote that he isn't sure.

    Yes, toolic did: "qw vs. qq will make no difference in this case". The "I'm not sure" refers to why you suggested it, because it makes no difference in this case.
