That is indeed a *must*, as many router filter echo reply packets, so at 
least some server's reply would never be received, and moreover UDP 
packets may be lost with no problem (no automatic re-transmission at all).

Different problem: we need either raw sockets (bad, bad, bad) or the 
ICMP.dll, which is available also on Win9x if some releaseof IE is 
installed, AFAIR.
