<br>When the client application starts, I would like to check if a connection to the application server is available. How can I do this from VB?<br><br>Outside of VB, I would normally do a "Ping IPaddress" or "Ping MachineName", but I want this to be automated so that if the connection to the server is down, I can issue a meaningful message to the user rather than have them lock up because it cannot create an object on the remote server.<br><br>Thanks in advance!
