Same as under Windows, NetWare, Linux or any other decent Operating
System: either specify the whole path to "your" ping or take care that
"your" ping is in the "PATH" environment variable. Easy, isn't it?

FYI: The default /etc/profile and /etc/zprofile take care that the
default path for ping.exe is in bash/zsh $PATH if the default path is
in your Windows PATH variable (and that is also the default under
Windows).
