Dim oPing As New Net.NetworkInfo rmation.Ping
Dim myResponse As Net.NetworkInfo rmation.PingRep ly
Dim myStatus As New clsStatus()

Try

myResponse = oPing.Send(txtC omputername.Tex t, 8)
If myResponse.Stat us = NetworkInformat ion.IPStatus.Su ccess
Then

Catch exPing As Net.NetworkInfo rmation.PingExc eption
'here the computer doesn't have a DHCP Lease anymore
MessageBox.Show ("PC not online", "Ping", MessageBoxButto ns.OK,
MessageBoxIcon. Information)

Catch ex As Sockets.SocketE xception
'here the computer is offline but still has a DHCP Lease
MessageBox.Show ("PC not online", "Socket", MessageBoxButto ns.OK,
MessageBoxIcon. Information)

End Try

Please open the object browser and search for "ping".

Alternate:

Please open google and search for "ping Visual Basic .NET"

RE: ping an ip Address

Newbie,

You can use Visual Basic's My.Computer.Net work.Ping method.

As Kerry pointed out, you can use My.Computer.Net work.Ping method
which returns a Boolean as True if pinging was successful.
