In Windows 98 SE when I run my batch file called EXPLORER.BAT, the ping and internet explorer starts simultaneously. However when I run the same batch file in Windows 2000 Professional, it first runs the ping, finishes the 15 pings and only then starts internet explorer. Could somebody please advise me of how I can still have both commands run at exactly the same time in Windows 2000 Professional.

Here's the file...

Ping 196.25.1.1 -t -n 15

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
