Hello

What I want to do is a fast ping to google.com if the connection to my
webservice fails. If ping to google fails, the connection is bad, if it
succeeds our server is down...

How can I ping to google?

Thanks

Kenny
 
The easiest technique I've seen is to use DNS.GetHostEntry. If the ping
address doesn't resolve to 127.0.0.1, you have a good ping.
 
Thanks

This is working if I am using WLAN, but if I have connected my device with
ActiveSync with Passthrough-internet (IExplorer ist working!), I get error
message ...

Any hint?

Thanks

Kenny
