How is it possible for "ping" in windows to display less information e.g. a less verbose output.
E.g. just the "Reply from" part?
I don't see any option to do that, at least in Windows XP. But you can do this:
ping 127.0.0.1 | find "TTL"
This filters the final stats.
If you only want the lines which have reply:
ping servername | find "Reply"
