Q. Trying to setup network: If i ping from wireless router my ping works.. If I ping from cmd it does not,I tried echo%path% no help. For some reason my command prompt comes then goes from start ,run. but from accessories command stays on screen.

A. I don’t completely understand you.  How are you pinging from your router?  Also, in the Start->Run box are you typing the ping command directly or are you typing "cmd"?  If you type the ping command directly, then you will see exactly what you mentioned (i.e. a command prompt window that pops up and disappears before you can see what happened).  If you want the Command Prompt window to come up, run the command, prompt you to press any key, and then go away, try the following command from the Run box (replace "<host>" with your hostname or IP address):

==============
cmd /c ping <host> && pause
==============

It is just as easy, though, to type "cmd" in the Run box and then type "ping <host>" directly into the Command Prompt window.  This is the same thing as selecting the Command Prompt from Accessories.  This would allow you to try a couple of different commands before you close the Command Prompt.

I hope this answers your questions.  If not, try to rephrase your question a little because I did not completely understand what you were looking for.
