You should use a less ambiguous date format, such as ISO 8601.  If you 
include the time of day too, the UTC offset should be included.

That is not useful:

[brolin@brolin-V13] [0] [5] ~/
$ /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/PING.EXE -t 5.0.0.1

Pinging 5.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 5.0.0.1:
    Packets: Sent = 8, Received = 0, Lost = 8 (100% loss),
Control-C
[brolin@brolin-V13] [127] [6] ~/
$

Anyway, how does ping help me to list open ports on an Hamachi client?
