Are you talking about Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2?

To force IPv4 or IPv6, use -4 or -6 . To specify the source interface to use, use the -s option. (You use the interface number, not the IP address).

To ping 192.168.0.1 using ipv4 from interface 1, use the command "ping -4 192.168.0.1 -s 1"

Yes, you can put the source address in the ping command using the -S option. You can also specify ip4 or ip6. Ping /? will list all the options.
