Hi, All,

I try to ping another PC using ping in vb 2005, can anyone provide a snippet
of code?

Thanks in advance,
Martin
 
well you can do it via the command line and the SHELL command...
right?

you could pipe this into a text file; and then you wouldn't have any
external dependencies

this way you can also get multiple ping values; that's more important
than a single value

if that doesn't work i'd check out www.freevbcode.com

Search for "ping" in the object browser - there are several methods to
do this.

OK, some very rough code (that works) -

Imports System.Net.NetworkInformation

Dim Ping As New Ping
Dim PingOptions As New PingOptions
PingOptions.Ttl = 64
Dim PingReply As PingReply = Ping.Send("192.168.1.1", 500)
If PingReply.Status = IPStatus.Success Then
'Do Something...
End If

Hope this is enough to get you started.

Also, look up PING in the on-line help.

Martin,

In addition to the other responses, VB 2005 offers My.Computer.Network.Ping.

NetCard.

Thanks in advance.
