Win32+ICMP API => Dealing with TIMEOUTS

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Maybe some of you guys can help a beginner on Win32 coding? Im trying a very simple PING app based on the ICMP API. My code works, i can PING the host and get results. I just cant make it respect the TIMEOUT value. I will post the important part of it for you to get an idea of what im talking about.
Any help will be fantastic, im really dying here.

typedef struct tagIPINFO
{
    u_char Ttl;        // Time To Live
    u_char Tos;        // Type Of Service
    u_char IPFlags;        // IP flags
    u_char OptSize;        // Size of options data
    u_char FAR *Options;    // Options data buffer
}IPINFO, *PIPINFO;

typedef struct tagICMPECHO
{
    u_long Source;            // Source address
    u_long Status;            // IP status
    u_long RTTime;            // Round trip time in milliseconds
    u_short DataSize;        // Reply data size
    u_short Reserved;        // Unknown
    void FAR *pData;        // Reply data buffer
    IPINFO    ipInfo;            // Reply options
}ICMPECHO, *PICMPECHO;

...
hndlFile = pIcmpCreateFile();
    for (x = 0; x < num; x++)
    {
        // Set some reasonable default values
        ipInfo.Ttl = 255;
        ipInfo.Tos = 0;
        ipInfo.IPFlags = 0;
        ipInfo.OptSize = 0;
        ipInfo.Options = NULL;
        //icmpEcho.ipInfo.Ttl = 256;
        // Reqest an ICMP echo
        dwRet = pIcmpSendEcho(
            hndlFile,        // Handle from IcmpCreateFile()
            *dwAddress,        // Destination IP address
            NULL,            // Pointer to buffer to send
            0,            // Size of buffer in bytes
            &ipInfo,        // Request options
            &icmpEcho,        // Reply buffer
            sizeof(struct tagICMPECHO),
            5000);            // Time to wait in milliseconds, does not work.
        // Print the results
        iaDest.s_addr = icmpEcho.Source;
        printf("\nReply from %s  Time=%ldms  TTL=%d",
                inet_ntoa(iaDest),
                icmpEcho.RTTime,
                icmpEcho.ipInfo.Ttl);
        if (icmpEcho.Status)
        {
            printf("\nError: icmpEcho.Status=%ld",
                icmpEcho.Status);
            break;
        }
    }
    printf("\n");
    // Close the echo request file handle
    pIcmpCloseHandle(hndlFile);
    FreeLibrary(hndlIcmp);
    WSACleanup();
}

From the MS help files:

The IcmpSendEcho function sends an ICMP Echo request and returns any replies. The call returns when the time-out has expired or the reply buffer is filled.

The IcmpSendEcho2 function sends an ICMP Echo request and returns either immediately (if Event or ApcRoutine is non-NULL) or returns after the specified time-out. The ReplyBuffer contains the ICMP responses, if any.
