'ping' is not recognized as an internal or external command etc

[Chris Hartley]

Is anyone able to tell me what this ping error means?  It's not a
critical problem as the programme seems to download ok, just curious
really.  The error seems to hold up the process of opening the web
browser when using the 'Quick URL' function of the Web PvrManager -
initially Firefox gives the error:

"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:1935"

which I then have to refresh (the browser refresh) a few times before
the Web PVR Manager window appears.

I am on Windows7 x86 with Firefox default browser and default windows
installer (2 day old OS)

The full report is pasted below.
