Windows 10: Batch file: Who can solve this mystery?

I recenty migrated to Windows 10 from XP. Years ago, I made a batch file, ping.bat, to test my Internet connection and DNS server:

ping 98.139.183.24
ping yahoo.com
ping nytimes.com
pause

It works fine in XP, but when I run it in Windows 10, it goes into an endless loop after reading the first line, without returning a result or going on to the next line. But if I open it in Notepad and copy and paste the text into a Window 10 Command Prompt window, it works fine--just like in XP. What's going on? A couple of other batch files I made for XP seem to work the same in Windows 10.

I don't know what is this .Someone can just help me solve ?

 

Run ping /?

that will give you the options of how long to ping for.

 

The bat file works just fine on mine PC, maybe a problem with your DNS server.
Anyway, that webpage probably reports to your DNS, that it is down right now.

 

My question is: Why do I get one result (endless loop) if I run the .bat file in Windows 10, but a different result (works fine) if I paste the exact text of the batch file into a Windows 10 Command Prompt window?

 

I see, that is funny, rename your file to something else, not ping. *chuckle

 

That's the answer! Renaming the file makes it work in Windows 10! It worked fine in XP as ping.bat.

I might actually use it as a prank, especially since April 1st is coming. *Smile
