How do I get command line utilities like ping to use the default proxy in Windows XP.
proxycfg -u sets the proxy to the default (IE) proxy alright, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Update: I am behind a proxy and would like a way to check if a site is up or not hence trying to use ping! Also would like a way to telnet (without using Putty) to a specific site and port to check connectivity.
