    Do you want to ping 12 IP's at the same time? or ping one with 12 requests?

    What do the ProgressBars have to do with anything? ProgressBars don't ping anything. They just show progress, that YOU have calculated.

    Also, have you tried doing it with one of everything first? Don't try to walk before you can run. There's no point trying to juggle 12 balls if you can't even keep one in the air.
