Creating a Ping batch file in Windows 2000 pro

[gtnetadmin]

This is so easy it is embarrassing to ask. I am trying to create a ping batch file to ping 3 ip address in succession. Example: ping 192.168.xxx.xxx
ping 198.88.xxx.xxx
ping 198.88.xxx.xxx
I am using the command prompt in Windows 2000 professional.
I keep getting a message that I have entered an invalid parameter. Example: ping 192.168.xxx.xxx is not recognized as an internal or external command.

Any help would be great. Thanks

Check to make sure you have ping.exe in your %systemroot%\system32 folder.

Open up a cmd window and enter the ping command. What happens? Make sure PING is in your default path (%systemroot%\system32).

In the batch file start with a change directory and change to the system32 folder.
cdcd windows\system32
ping 192.x.x.x

Well, I sure hope we all just answered at the same time instead of simply repeating what the previous poster said! ;-)
