Just to add another two cents on the unreliability of pings for determining
reachability, if you are using the wi-fi service in certain airports, cafes,
etc. some wi-fi providers will respond to a ping of anything, so it will
appear you can reach any host, when in fact you can't reach anything except
the providers home page until you authenticate.
