I'm not sure this is a wine bug.  According to this site,
http://www.ndis.com/faq/QA05040101.htm
the function is not reliable and shouldn't be used.  (I've found the author to
be authoritative on anything windows networking related in the past.  OTOH, much
of the information on this page is rather old.)

MSDN does seem to imply that ping is in fact used.  To quote:
"If lpszUrl is non-NULL, the host value is extracted from it and used to ping
that specific host.
If lpszUrl is NULL and there is an entry in the internal server database for the
nearest server, the host value is extracted from the entry and used to ping that
server."

So I'm closing this as invalid.  If you can demonstrate that windows uses
something other than ping with a sniffer trace, reopen and attach that.
