PING from an ASP.NET / C# webpage? 3

[VBRookie]

Hello again,

I'm trying to create a screen on our intranet site that when loaded will ping a specified set of ip addresses and report their statistics back to the web ...

Any clue on how to do this in ASP.NET with C#?

Many Thanks,

You'll need to use the System.Net.Sockets namespace to Ping another machine from .NET. A search on Google for C# and Ping turns up a lot of articles detailing exactly this and even a few free components to drop in your app to do it for you...

As an aside, I heard of a new "flaming" acronym yesterday, FGI (Think RTFM and the above answer...) Now its not really my thing, I'd rather help (or at least try to) but it seems theres a definite trend at the moment to "ask before you try". As a developer Googles your best friend, its instant and pracitically boundless...;-)

Thanks Rob for the information ...

I googled for hours yesterday on this trying to find a simple way to do it without having to pay for a third party component. My company wants the functionality but its not in the budget to pay for anything.

I didn't find anything simple and was hoping that I could get a lead or two on anything that I may have missed here. Tek-tips is pretty much always my last resort after I've googled myself to death.

Thanks for the tips ... they are much appreciated.
