Ping timeout is longer than set by par2

[RichardL]

For $iIx = 1 To 255
	$sIP = StringFormat("%d.%d.%d.%d", 192, 168, 1, $iIx)
	$Tim0 = TimerInit()
	$iRet = Ping($sIP, 40)
	$iTim1 = TimerDiff($Tim0)
	$iErr = @error
	ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("P ix=%3d  tim=%4d   %1d %6d\n", $iIx, $iTim1, $iErr, $iRet))
Next

The timeout seems to be 500 mS minimum, or 500 more than requested.

I am not convinced this is an AutoIt3 bug but rather an issue with IcmpSendEcho used in AutoIt3. There seem to be multiple reports on this timeout parameter not working and AutoIt3 simply uses what is provide.

I don't know where IcmpSendEcho is, I've tried it on Windows XP and 7 it's the same.

Look ​here and search for Minimum timeout in the document. I am closing and no bug and will not document in our help file, as this is undocumented by Microsoft.
