Get network status on mobile device

Hello,
I try to ping from my mobile device with a wireless connection to my
pc. I found the class clsping on the internet and it works perfect
with application from pc to pc but when i use it from mobile device
(win ce.net 4.2) to pc then it doesn't work anymore. I get on error
on the following statement:

Dim sckSocket As New System.Net.Sockets.Socket( _

Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork, _

Net.Sockets.SocketType.Raw, _

Net.Sockets.ProtocolType.Icmp)

ERROR: The support for the specified socket type does not exist
if I change icmp to tcp and raw to stream then I get an error on:

sckSocket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket ,
SocketOptionName.ReceiveTimeout, 1000)

ERROR: An unknown, invalid, or unsupported option or level was
specified in a getsockopt or setsockopt call
Can someone tell me how i can solve the problem or how I can retrieve
the network status on my mobile device

thnx
