Hi,
I work for a company wich has a large WAN/LAN network topology and I had an idea to program myself a little proggie wich checks every 5 minutes if the routers are still available, the easiest way to do this is to ping the router. I would like to know if I there is an api or a self-made function wich emulate the ping command, al it needs to do is to check if he is getting a reply ;-), if it is possible the delay would be nice to.
The idea is to make a dynamic table wich holds on the one side all the site information like adress, network topology used and so on and ofcourse the IP adress of the router, I already have a special activex to create graphical maps, so I can color an site in failure red for example.
Feel free to comment and add some of your own suggestions.
