Hello! I've made a batch file, it works fine on my windows XP computer, but it's not working on my Windows Server 2003 computer, the 'Ping' command on it isn't working. Here is it: @echo off Title Restarter :start color cf echo Created by PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1 >NUL cls echo Created by C PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1 >NUL cls echo Created by Cr PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1 >NUL cls echo Created by Cru PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1 >NUL cls echo Created by Cruz PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1 >NUL cls echo Created by Cruze PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1 >NUL cls echo Created by Cruze echo ---------------- PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1 >NUL echo 1.

what does the cmd say when it comes to the ping command? try to ping 127.0.0.0 or localhost, instead of 1.1.1.1 ping is working on my Server 2003

OK, it's all working fine, except one major thing. You see where it says 'taskkill'. It's not working, taskkill is doing absolutely nothing to the batches the batch made. So it's impossible for a batch to kill another batch? That's lame ...

hmm ive got a batch file that runs a bunch of other batch and vbs files, it reruns every 3.5 mins and if i want it to stop i use this taskkill /im cmd.exe in a batch file and that works just fine

when you are running a batch file its using cmd.exe not the batchfile name
