Sorry Wito, but I think you're pinging at the wrong address here :-)
This group's business is about getting the speedtouch working and
not about the intimate knowledge of ping. BTW most people use
ping as a tool (or doorbell, if you wish) to see if someone is home
so to speak. I always accepted it 'as is' and never was interested in
the 'how', though having heard of echo-requests etc. It seems a
waste of time for you to dive into these realms, while your
connection problem should be easily solved on a higher level.
From then on, before you know it, you will be pinging the
whole world (wow!).
Ok
