That is the error message I get when I try either of these methods for
creating an ICMP packet:

socket = Socket.new(Socket::PF_INET, Socket::SOCK_RAW, Socket::IPPROTO_ICMP)

or

with net-ping

icmp = Ping::ICMP.new('machine_name')

icmp.ping?

I am on Windows XP.  The account I'm logged in as has local administrator
rights.


What I'm trying to do is check to see if a system is up before I try and
make a WIN32OLE connection to it as they take forever to time-out
