    how to make a simple ICMP PING program?

    I would like to make a simple PING program that has the following
    paremeters:

    txtAddress - a text-box that you enter an IP address into
    txtinterval - a text box that allows you to enter in an interval as to
    when to ping that address. So say I want the values to be between 30
    and 420 seconds. So if I enter 30 in the box it will ping every 30
    seconds.

    also a button btnDoIt - when this is pressed it will send 3 or 4 PINGS
    out to the address in txtAddress at an interval of every....howeve r
    many seconds are entered into txtInterval


    Is this something that would be relatively easy to do? Can someone
    show me how to do this? I have no idea where to start

    thanks for any help

      Check out the System.Net.Netw orkInformation. Ping class...

          In addition to Tom's answer, do not assume that every firewall will cooperate
          with this function. It is a protocol that is almost always disabled.
