multiping and ping plotter show 100% loss

[cunfuzd4]

Hi all, I am very new to wine and was able to successfully install it from the rpmforge repository. I was able to install multiping and ping plotter but when I try to use these programs to ping, they show 100% packet loss. Has anyone been able to setup these ping utilities to work in wine?

Ping won't work for regular user. And running Wine as root is highly discouraged.
You should find comparable (probable much better) tools for Linux instead. You don't want to mix Wine into any kind of testing.

If you can suggest any good alternatives, please do. I know I've looked more than once.

I got this working OK after I installed and ran it as root. Reports here.

There are capiblities that can be assigned so root is not required to make that work. grantbow.
