    Ping

    If, say, I wanted to make a program (in VB) that pinged things, could I embed some sort of open source version of ping into the program or just call it as an external program?

    I don't know much about vb right now - consider this a port from a PHP script I wrote - a pretty big different in structure!

    Thanks!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Maybe this helps?

    Probably the best way is to download a dll that provides a ping API to VB...

    Excellent - now I know what terms to search for, lol - that's the only problem with google - you need to know what you want!
