I just became interested in the networking part of VB. I am trying to learn winsock, (getting there slowly). How would I go about making a VB program that uses the microsoft winsock control to ping. I don't really want to use Windows API for this, since I don't know that much about it.

The program that I want to make is supposed to be able to ping a range of IP address' for network stats.
ex.
ping from 192.168.7.1 to 192.168.7.10 and return the ones that are being used.

If anyone is able to help me, I would appreicate it greatly.
