Ping IP Addresses

[Judy Ward]

I am storing IP Addresses as a field in a table. I would like to ping each
IP address and know which ones respond (and then use this response to update
another field in the table--which I know how to do).

Does anyone already have code which pings an IP address and interprets the
response?

Thank you,
Judy

Obligatory warning: Randy's site is aimed at VB programmers. There are some
significant differences between the controls available for forms in VB and
in Access, meaning that not all of Randy's example will port directly to
Access. This is one example: he's using a control array for some of the text
boxes, which Access doesn't support. Hopefully you'll be able to figure out
what to do with that code though.

I am a small intenret provider. I am using access for diagnostic my network
using ping. I am using dsping.dll . For using it with access 2007 you must
run as administrator in command line regsvr32 dsping.dll .
