Did you set the "browseable = Yes" option in the share config? I know that you can browse a share by default, but it is worth trying. - V.

Rosenk, I am using your suggestion in my script to fork out a process and run the externel command from that process. The program runs fine, but it is not killing the child after 5 seconds as expected. I running this snippet under Windows 2000. Can you please take a look at my code and let me...

Something I noticed when I used Net::Ping was that Unix(linux) and Windows machines respond differently. As Justice41 said, it may be a difference between echo and ICMP. I worked around this by pinging the machine with echo first and then ICMP. And if both of them fail, I marked them as down...
