This will try pinging %machinename% for 100 times with a default timeout of 3 seconds: 3s * 100 = 300s, i.e. 5 minutes.

for /L %%N IN (1, 1, 100) DO (
    ping -n 1 %machinename%
    if not ERRORLEVEL 1 (
        set pingresult=true
        goto done
    )
)
set pingresult=false
:done
if %pingresult% == true (
  echo "ping ok, doing something..."
) else (
  echo "no reply after 5 mins, error!"
)
