Dim oPing As New Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
Dim myResponse As Net.NetworkInformation.PingReply
Dim myStatus As New clsStatus()

Try

myResponse = oPing.Send(txtComputername.Text, 8)
If myResponse.Status = NetworkInformation.IPStatus.Success
Then

Catch exPing As Net.NetworkInformation.PingException
'here the computer doesn't have a DHCP Lease anymore
MessageBox.Show("PC not online", "Ping", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Information)

Catch ex As Sockets.SocketException
'here the computer is offline but still has a DHCP Lease
MessageBox.Show("PC not online", "Socket", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Information)

End Try

Please open the object browser and search for "ping".

Alternate:

Please open google and search for "ping Visual Basic .NET"

Newbie,

You can use Visual Basic's My.Computer.Network.Ping method.

As Kerry pointed out, you can use My.Computer.Network.Ping method
which returns a Boolean as True if pinging was successful.
