Getting Connection Status

[gust1480]

Hi! am trying to create a program in vb that would contantly check the status of my connection with SNA and I used the following code (COM) to do so.

Set WmiLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set WMINamespace = WmiLocator.ConnectServer("", "root\MicrosoftHIS",
vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNullString, 0, Nothing)


but my problem now is that it sometimes hang on the code specified. Is there a way to prevent this?

This is a WMI connection...instead of 0 try using 128 which should force your script to wait a maximum of 2 minutes for a return.

If this does not fix your issue then it could be that WMI is corrupted on the machine you are attempting it on. You can try using WBemTest to verify.
