Try it as root? Can you access the network through other means?
Check where your ping is with "which ping"...should be /usr/bin
Make sure that your permissions are set where users can execute it...

I've exactly the same problem... any solution ??

I've this problem after I update the kernel to 2.6.16-1.2069

Thanks

It appears that IPtables, NAT, or any other firewall can be causing it
