I may be missing something in the thread here, ping does not work?
Can I see an example?  Is it possible  that the host that you are trying to 
ping is not answering?

Here is an example where the host does not respond. 

ping www.usmc.mil
PING www.usmc.mil (192.156.19.111) 56(84) bytes of data.
(^c)
--- www.usmc.mil ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 4014ms

I'm trying to better understand your goal.  Testing dns resolution is better 
done via nslookup, dig, or host commands.
