Network Tools worked perfectly, including ping, in 9.04. This is not a sporadic issue as described in Bug #359315. I am unable to ping any address from withing Network Tools in 10.10. No problem pinging from within a terminal window.

Correction to my above post #2 - I meant to say Network Tools worked perfectly in 10.04, not 9.04.

Under Ubuntu 10.4 gnome-nettool worked fine. On 4 of my 5 PCs I installed Ubuntu 10.10 (1 x 32 bit, 3 x 64 bit). Ping function does not work any more, while ping from a terminal window works as well as before. The ping function of gnome-nettool of the remaining PC with Ubuntu 10.4 (64 bit) is o.k.. The bug described above is not a duplicate of bug #359315, because ping function of gnome-nettool does not work with any adress.
