Hi Guys,
I am developing a small app just to check our servers are still online, at the moment i have got the my.computer.net work.ping pinging 12 of our servers and changing a label to say either server online or server offline, i am trying to get this to happen every 15 seconds, i have tried loops etc but it freezes the app, i came across application.doe vents which enabled the form to load without freezing. I was wondering if someone knows of a better way of doing this without the app freezing.
Cheers!
Jay!

Use the System.Threadin g.Timer object.

Hi Jay,
It probably "freezes" the app because you are doing everything from the main thread - the one that also manages the GUI. Have you tried making the pings in seperate threads?

Hi Guys!
I have tried playing with the Use the System.Threadin g.Timer object and it seemed unsuccessful. I have moved the ping code into a sperate function and am calling the function from the form load, the first ping works fine, the app takes a little time to load but when i loop the code after a timer etc.. the app freezes until the loop has continued, this is not an issue if all i was going to do was loop the code but i wish to do more with the app and i cannot allow it to freeze, any suggestions guys! and thanks for your input so far, very useful learning for me!
Regards
Jay!

Well the System.Threadin g.Timer is different then the other timer object, this one actually creates/runs in its own thread. If you tried that Timer (not the timer you drag/drop on the GUI designer) and it didn't work, you might have to go with full on threads.

I have downloaded every example on how to create a ping utility in .Net in

find an example that returns consistent results that are even close the the
actual ping command line utility. For example:
If i would ping the same server over and over, some pings would come back in
0 milliseconds, others would come back in 15, but never in between. It would

I need to do a ping scan of a subnet.
I can Enum through the IPs and do this, but it takes over 5 minutes as
I can only create 1 process at a time. Does anyone know how I can
create multiple Ping Processes so as to send out 255 pings at once?
(sort of a reverse ping flood).
FYI: using the " -n 1" switch with Ping will cause it to only send 1
ping.
Basicly the code is:

I am trying to "ping" a remote host in my C++/Redhat Linux code to
check whether that host is connected or not.
if (0 == system("ping -w 2 192.168.0.2))
But, in both cases (connected/disconnected), system call returns 0. Can
someone please show what I am doing wrong? How to check the actual
result of the ping status using C++ on Redhat linux ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I am attempting to utilize MS's article I.D. #828993 found at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B828993
In an effort to create a GUI Ping utility that ultimately will show me via a
green indicator if a system is pingable and a red indicator if a system is
not pingable. In addition I want to be able to ping a range of addresses at
one time and have the program return my indicators.

I am programing a ping application which pings various centers . I
used timer loop and it pings one by one.
Now when i finish pinging one center it should wait for the
ping_completed function to be executed and then continue pinging
another certer.
The ping_completed function is called on completion of ping by the os
and i have no control on it .

I have an offline application that works online for some data

to show whether my application is online or not by checking whether

it is offline
