I am working with a distributed server framework and need to find out if a server is available or not before allowing the program to execute. I do not know the server IP address, only the name. What is the best way for me to do this?

some methods that have been discussed in this forum (which you can find by searching) include pinging the server or tyring to open a file on a known share on the server.
