aaronk Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 13, 2014 #1 Hi, Just wondering how I can ping a IP address and get a reply back saying Pass or Fail if it was able to be pinged. I have used the following code but I can't work out how to make it say Pass or Fail Code: Dim p As Phone Dim sb As StringBuilder sb.Initialize p.Shell("ping -c 1 192.168.0.1",Null,sb,Null) Log(sb) Anyone able to help so it only says Pass or Fail if the IP was able to be pinged ?

However I don't recommend you to use this code as it will block the main thread. If there is a http server running on this address then you can use HttpUtils2 to check the connection. Upvote 0

What do you mean block the main thread ? As my app will connect to a TCP socket using a port number, I want to add something to the app (such as ping test) so if the user can't connect to the IP/port they can run some type of test and see if the device can talk to that IP or not.
