Access Denied when run ping cmd

Question

I have successfully run the following command on an XP machine, but have been unable to duplicate it on my new Windows 7 laptop:

FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO ping -n 1 192.168.0.%i | FIND /i "Reply">> c:\ipaddresses

I get the "Access denied" message. BUT, I AM able to ping individual ip addresses within the range just fine. I have no idea where to look for a fix for this.

Answer 1

The script runs fine for me on my Windows 7 Ultimate Laptop.

Did you use an Elevated command prompt? Right Click Command Prompt and run as Administrator?

192.168.1.72 is my machine other devices are all live and return a valid response (I amended your 192.168.0.x to 192.168.1.x)
