Ping - Administrator priviledges

[ranjan_j]

Hi,
I am facing a problem where I have a ping program which uses RAW sockets. Now my sendto call on this socket fails in scenarios where the pinging application is running in non administrator account. Microsoft says that for security reasons it will not allow this from windows 2K onwards.
Now my question is is there a work around for this or can some one sugggest an alternative ?

regards,
ranjan.

Hi,
I found this solution where I can use functions provided by ICMP.dll to ping successfully in non-administrator context. This does solve my problem to a certain extend.
