From a windows 7 machine, I ping a non existing ip address.
C:>ping 192.168.1.222
Pinging 192.168.1.222 with 32 bytes of data:

Even though there is no reply, the errorlevel is set to 0.
*what I am trying to do, is figure out if a remote machine is replying to ping. One of my test is to turn off the machine and ping it. For some reason, ping sets errorlevel to 0 *
