I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to here.  On Wintendo you can do

ping hostname (will append DNS suffix of the machine, if it's defined)
ping hostname. (will just try to resolve hostname, no DNS suffix gets
appended)
ping hostname.fqdn (if different from the machine's fqdn)
ping <ipaddr> (will *usually* resolve hostnames on local subnet or you can
do ping -a <ipaddr> to make it do a DNS lookup)

Ping -n on Wintendo^H^H^H^H^Hdows just says to send a certain number of
packets.  For instance, "ping -n 5 hostname" will ping hostname 5 times.
