The pinging process happens through the use of wp-cron, asynchronously. The generic ping uses fsockopen to connect to the site in question, so you need to make sure that your PHP allows the use of fsockopen.
Also, did you load your blog page itself afterwards, to allow wp-cron to run properly?

I tried to connect to 127.0.0.1 using fsockopen and it seems to work, while if I use localhost instead of 127.0.0.1 I get the following error:
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to localhost:80 (Impossibile stabilire la connessione. Risposta non corretta della parte connessa dopo l'intervallo di tempo oppure mancata risposta dall'host collegato. ) in C:\xampp\htdocs\burnnn.com\rpc\test.php on line 2
Impossibile stabilire la connessione. Risposta non corretta della parte connessa dopo l'intervallo di tempo oppure mancata risposta dall'host collegato. (10060)
So I properly edited wp-config.php, but anyway the test page wasn’t loaded (I also tried to load my blog page itself).
Is there any method to test the xmlrpc.php directly?
Any other ideas?
Thanks for the answer!
Is localhost defined in your hosts file? Can you ping localhost from a command line?

Yes, I can:
C:\Users\Marco>ping localhost

I have another question: when WP notifies the update services, does it call a specific function (e.g. weblogUpdates.ping)? If so, what function is called?
In general, what kind of data does WP send to each URL listed into the update services?
I am a bit confused about this topic, but unfortunately I can’t find much documentation…
It calls the weblogUpdates.extendedPing function with the blog’s name, the URL, and the RSS2 feed URL. If that is not available, it tries to call the weblogUpdates.ping function with the blog’s name and URL only.
The basic description of the protocol can be found here:
