It's your configuration. If you don't know what ping command you've 
attached, then how do you expect anyone else to do so?

If you're confused about the check_ping plugin you can try check_icmp 
instead. It's available at http://oss.op5.se/nagios

With nagios 2.x, a single service like this might prove useful;
define service {
	use ping-service
	host_name *
	check_command check_icmp!warn!crit
}

assuming you've specified the checkcommand correctly ofcourse.
