Pinging IP threw LAN?

[Gibbon]

Hi, is there an extension where i can ping computers connected threw lan to a server, all have static IP's. And gather info such as response/trip time?

I noticed oinc has it, but i cant seem to get it todo anything?

Thanks
Andy

Lacewing looks like it has this function Network Tools > ICMP Ping > Ping host

Hmm yeh, thats sounds very much the same as the oinc one, but ill give it a try.

thanks

failing that i use a combination of pipe and rtf to achieve the same outcome. It's cumbersome but works. If you need an example i can sort one out.

Hmm yeh i cant seem to get that to work, im sure it might be me.

But i simply have a button and list, then button is pressed it pings an IP, and then i have a success and a fail action that adds to the list. ... nothing is added, neither a failure or a successs?

Thanks
Andy

That would be great lembi.

Does the pipe obejct do it then?

Thanks

can you upload your mfa???

EDIT: All pipe does is allows you to retreive the output of a cmd window and display it within mmf. what IP's have you got in your list?

I just literally use one ip? For example in the expression editor i have "172.2.2.1"

thanks

I'm pretty sure networks follow the 192.168.*.* line?
You could always try 127.0.0.1, that'll be the same computer.

Why are you using lacewing? All you need to do is send P for ping and R for reply/pong using the network obejct.
