ping

hi

i want to make a trace route program in vb. i know how to make it but i don't know how to ping.

i know you have to use icmp.dll but i don't know how you use it.

some of the properties i need to be able to set/return:

• change TTL of the packet
• return ip of the computer sending the return packet
• change buffer size
• resolve ips to hostnames and vice versa
• return the round-trip time (in milliseconds)
• change time-out time

the reason i want to make a trace route program is that i got a few shareware programs already but they have expired so i thought if i made one, i could make it freeware.

i've also got another question what does Type Of Service do?

thank you

Hi,

I've got a module with a full ping routine which I picked up somewhere on the net. You may download it from my website (the site itself is far from ready). The location is http://hdvb.net/vb-world.net/modMain.bas.

I hope this helps you.
