Dim oPing As New Net.NetworkInfo rmation.Ping
Dim myResponse As Net.NetworkInfo rmation.PingRep ly
Dim myStatus As New clsStatus()

Try

myResponse = oPing.Send(txtC omputername.Tex t, 8)
If myResponse.Stat us = NetworkInformat ion.IPStatus.Su ccess
Then

Catch exPing As Net.NetworkInfo rmation.PingExc eption
'here the computer doesn't have a DHCP Lease anymore
MessageBox.Show ("PC not online", "Ping", MessageBoxButto ns.OK,
MessageBoxIcon. Information)

Catch ex As Sockets.SocketE xception
'here the computer is offline but still has a DHCP Lease
MessageBox.Show ("PC not online", "Socket", MessageBoxButto ns.OK,
MessageBoxIcon. Information)

End Try

Please open the object browser and search for "ping".

Alternate:

Please open google and search for "ping Visual Basic .NET"

Newbie,

You can use Visual Basic's My.Computer.Net work.Ping method.

As Kerry pointed out, you can use My.Computer.Net work.Ping method
which returns a Boolean as True if pinging was successful.
