lately, whenever I try to "ping" a website using the DOS prompt it says I'm performing an illegal operation?!? Anyone else here ever have the same issue or know how to fix it?
thanks!

hmmm no. How exactly are you typing it out on the command line?

I type ping and then leave a space then www.whatever.com, tried it with and w/out the http:// but still gives me some funky error

its possible that for some reason the ping command got wiped out of your command directory. Have a look to see if it's still there and if its not you will need to restore it.
drop in to DOS and at c:\ type >> list ping.* /s and if it doesn't find it, it ain't there.

-t is to run the ping command continuously, without the -t it will only send 3 pings
