It's important that all tests pass on all platforms. In a few cases 
you'll see code in tests where it checks os.name and if the test is not 
applicable then it just passes. It's okay if you do the same for this 
test. Also as I said in one of the original replies, this one isn't 
really a bug, it's just about having InetAddress.isReachable work 
similar to the ping command on the platform for this case.
