How to make linux ping behaves like MS ping?

[Beast]

Hi,

Is there any way to make ping in linux behave like ping in MS Windows? 
thus it will print "Request timed out" when reply is not received within 
x ms intead on print nothing in screen.

Well, there are only a couple of differences.

First, only four ping packets.

Second, print request timed out (or similar).

If you "man ping", you'll get all the options that come stock with this
useful command.

If you type:
ping -c 4 a.b.c.d
(where a.b.c.d is a network address), you'll get four ping packets to that address. 
Since FC is looking to show you the output on that, you'll get something like:

[code]
[marc@DaClown marc]$ ping -c 4  10.18.13.254
PING 10.18.13.254 (10.18.13.254) 56(84) bytes of data.
> From 10.18.10.1 icmp_seq=0 Destination Host Unreachable

> From 10.18.10.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
> From 10.18.10.1 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable 
--- 10.18.13.254 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 received, +4 errors, 100% packet loss, time 3000ms
, pipe 2
[marc@DaClown marc]$ 
[/code]

Hope that helps.

Aah, yes. I only focus on -W options in linux never look at -c, because 
in windows I mostly use -t options which is unlimited count until stopped.

Thanks for your help.

I also don't play Sender Confirmation games, particularly when the 
confirmation message is in html only. 

You've been removed from the Cc: line in this reply.

You asked for help, but set the Cc: line as if you weren't subscribed.
Anyone who posts to this list, can IMNSHO, accept the fscking replies 
you set in the Cc: line of your message or do without the reply.

Read it here, or don't read it at all, doesn't bother me.
