Ping a Server

[jlarkin]

I want to allow users to ping servers from a web page.<br>
<br>
I'm sure I can build a COM component to emulate normal command-line ping functionality. I was wondering if anyone is doing it using VBScript. Or if someone out there has already built a component I can plug in and access within my script.<br>
<br>
Thanks!

Well, I've found the solution.<br>
<br>
The MSDN library has a pngctrl.ocx which I wrapped in an ActiveX dll. It's a little bulky, But I can now access the functionality of a command-line ping call using server side vbscript within my web page.<br>
<br>
Pretty cool tool!
