VB Pinging..

[Besoup]

Hey,
I have never tried to write anything that does any pinging or much on the network for that matter. I was wondering how hard it would be to ping a LAN IP and return a boolean in VB 6.0?

Any examples are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know about the Boolean value. You would have to use this code, and then parse the output. Prolly if it was bigger than a minimum size, would be True

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
  Shell ("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c  C:\Windows\System32\ping 192.168.1.102 >> d:\myfile.txt"), vbNormalFocus
End Sub
