Hi there!

can i ask for other alternative way to ping IP?
im currently using this:

Lparameters iHost
Declare Integer GetRTTAndHopCount In Iphlpapi;
	Integer DestIpAddress, Long @HopCount,;
	Integer MaxHops, Long @RTT
Declare Integer inet_addr In ws2_32 String cp

Local nDst, nHop, nRTT
nDst = inet_addr(iHost)
Store 0 To nHop, nRTT

If GetRTTAndHopCount(nDst, @nHop, 50, @nRTT) <> 0
	Return .T.

Else
	Return .F.
Endif

this is to check if the servr is up and running.
don't know why but sometimes it returns .F. even the server is up.
but when i try to proceed with my connection string, it connects w/o any errors.

your help is very much appreciated.


Regards,
Jorrel.
