In my Windows Forms application (on startup) I use the ping command to check if both the Internet connection and my SQL Server are alive.Is there any "better" way-command I should use for accomplishing the above task in the .NET framework 2.0?

what are other ways to do ping in vb.net or c# other than the way found here:

I have this code to ping a list of over 400 switches , the program works fine but for some reason the first time i ping all the switches alot of the attempts time-out(even tho they shouldnt) which makes the program alot slower , if i click ping again less of the attempts time-out(and as a result the program runs faster) and if i click it a third time i usually get a completely accurate result with all the switches pinging back "success" (except for a few which i know for a fact are down anyway) any ideas why this is ?

I am trying to create a tool that will test to see if a device is reachable b ICMP and report back with the latency, i.e. send a ping. If possible, I would also like to get the hop count value.[code]I keep getting an error message saying " 'Send' is not a member of 'NetworkTool.Ping' ", but everyone seems to use it. So how do I do get .Send to work?

View 1 RepliesA little background, the client that I am working with has an enterprise AD that is a mess. They have no containers for servers or any organization what-so-ever. They also shutdown servers and did not remove them properly from AD. So I needed to come up with a program that would find all the windows server, identify them by OS, and then check to see if they would actually respond to a ping. (I am aware that this is not a perfect method if they are refusing ICMP's but its good enough for my purposes). The completion of the program will display all the information and then allow the user to save the excel workbook in a location that they choose.

View 6 RepliesI currently have the below code to ping the first record in my database.
I'd like to set it up so that if an IP in the Database pings, it moves on to the next record e.g NetMonListDataSet1.Addresses.Rows(2).Item(0).ToString. if it doesn't receive a response it "sendsmymail()".
I know i need a For Each loop somewhere maybe? But i can't seem to fit it in.
Code:
Dim myProcess As New Process()
myProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False

I'm wondering if its possible to ping a website while logged into the website so you can ping a certain page which you couldn't if you was not logged in.
I seen CMD ping through VB but that doesn't have cookies or anything so the URL is inaccessible.
im currently using cookies and HttpWebRequest atm, which im looking for a faster method.

im trying to do is ping a server and see if there is a response. If there is a response then i would like to set an integer to 1 if there is not a response set the integer to 0. I would also then like to gather any servers that had a response into a list box. I know how to build a list box just having trouble getting the code to set a variable if or if there isnt a response.
View 4 RepliesI have a module that will ping a machine given a hostname or an ip address. Is there an eaiser way to ping a machine using vb .net? I know you can use wsh to open a shell and execute the ping command from a command prompt window then use the ReadAll to get the information ping sends back and from there you can determine if the ping was sucessful or not. How would I do this in VB .Net or is there a better way to ping machines in .net?
View 17 RepliesWell I decided to try make a proxy checker, like Charion or Elite proxy checker. These programs accept large lists of proxies in the IP:PORT format, ping them tell you the response time see the screenshot of Elite Proxy Checker, im trying to make a simplified version of this program. [URL]I investigated and made my checker using Ping.SendAsync(ip, timeout, ip) method. It was only afterwards that I discovered that you can only Ping IP's using this method, not the ports as well. Ive spent a few hours trying to find the correct class/methods in order to be able to ping ports, reading different forum posts from experts they say its impossible to ping ports only IPS, can only use sockets to try open a connection with the port.

View 2 RepliesI have a listview with three columns adress: , status and interval
now, I would like to ping each adress and display its status at different intervals!
Is it possible to do that or I have to PING each row with one timer?
I'm having a strange issue with a memory leak associated with ping.sendasync. My program has a section in it that allows the user to specify X number of servers/computers to monitor.About every 30 seconds it will execute a routine that loops through the list and sends a ping asynchronously to each server/computer.If I keep an eye on the process memory usage in the task manager it will creep up about 1-1.5MB each time the routine is executed. Now, this program will be used and left running for hours and hours for each person, and over the course of the day the mem usage can creep up close to a gig...... (it happened the other day until I noticed it)
Server Indicators routine (starts the ping.sendasync):
Public Sub ServerIndicators()
ReloadingServers = True

i am trying to ping some terminals and all i could find for code is this
If My.Computer.Network.Ping(IPaddress, 1000) Then
MsgBox(IPaddress & " pinged successfully.")
Else
MsgBox(IPaddress & " request timed out.")
End If
it keeps comming up request timed out message. and i got this from microsoft. instead of a message box i am going to return the response to a listview control but i have to get a successful message first.
