I just came home, my internet was being flaky so I wanted to try to go ahead and release/renew as well as ping a few places. Problem is... none of those commands exist say cmd.

C:\Documents and Settings>ping google.com
'ping' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Anyone ever come across this problem of the command shell LOSING these programs? I can still do like cd and dir but programs like ipconfig or ping don't come up.
 
it's your path variable. If the program is not found in the current directory, the directories listed in path will be searched

standard xp path is:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem

you can edit it from system properties
