>For me, I think being able to PING a site is enough, and I recently started a thread called "NEED FAST PING TEST". While I currently use the shell out to DOS method to run PING -n 1 123.123.123.123, I am seeking a windows PING function. In my other thread, Mark Hall told me about a PING control at www.serverobjects.com. The control is free but doesn't come with any support. Right now I don't have the time to try it, but I would welcome any help getting it to work.

The control is really easy to use. Follow the instructions in the .HTM file to register the DLL then you can use the code:

oPing = CreateObject("aspping.conn")
oPing.RemoteHost = "www.levelextreme.com"
oPing.PingCount = 2
lcResult = oPing.Ping()

? lcResult

Then you could easily parse the string for any of the results you want (ie. timeouts).
