This doesn't work for me either (I had tried earlier too):

my batch file:
@echo off
ping -n 1 someserver.near.me 1>NUL 2>NUL

Upon configuring WPKG to use this file for offline mode custom script, I get
"WNetAddConnection2-> The network name cannot be found." written to the event
log.

When I disable offline mode, it works fine.  If I set it to a script that
merely says "exit /b 0" it gives me the same error.  The same applies to other
error codes.
