Is there a reason you can't just call the actual "ping" program from your program, rather than trying to actually replicate it's functionality?

You could look at the source code?

The best idea would be to get your hands on a copy of:

UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1, Second Edition: Networking APIs: Sockets and XTI, W. Richard Stephens, Prentice Hall, 1998, ISBN 0-13-490012-X

The chapter on raw sockets looks at the ping program.
