AspPing

AspPing provides the same basic functionality as the command-line version of ping. AspPing is free but there is no free support for this free product.

Simple Ping Example

Using the component is as simple as

1. Creating the object
2. Setting a few properties
3. Calling the Ping method

<%
  rem ***********************************************************
  rem * Create the object
  rem ***********************************************************
  Set Pinger = Server.CreateObject("AspPing.Conn")

  rem ***********************************************************
  rem * Set the host we'll be pinging
  rem ***********************************************************
  Pinger.RemoteHost = "www.microsoft.com"

  rem ***********************************************************
  rem * Optional count for number of times to ping remotehost
  rem * defaults to 1
  rem ***********************************************************
  Pinger.PingCount = 2


  rem ***********************************************************
  rem * Ping and then dump the results
  rem ***********************************************************
  Response.Write "<pre>" & Pinger.Ping & "</pre>"

  rem ***********************************************************
  rem * Release the object
  rem ***********************************************************
  Set Pinger = nothing
