Quite different.  The Ping method sends an empty reply back.  Obviously
you want to get it otherwise what is the purpose of the Ping?  NoReply
means I'm not sending a reply back so if you are blocking on one you're
gona be waiting a long time (or at least till the timeout hits you which
right now it defaulted to 15 seconds).
