Hi all,

I have just been playing with Net::Ping recently and have a few
questions that I need clarifing if any one has the time.

Firstly.  I have a host using a 56k modem connection.  When I ping these
servers using the ping object....

$p       = Net::Ping->new("icmp");

If the server that is being pinged doesn't respond it generates an error
message.  Then when I go and ping the supposedly failed server manually
from a command prompt it responds.

Does any one have any ideas as to why this is doing that?

I have tried changing the time out to the maximum but this doesn't seem
to work.  With Net::Ping can I issue something that says...

OK ping this server 5 times and if the server resonds 1 or more times
out of the 5 then don't generate the error message.  At the moment I
think with net ping it only pings a machine once.  If it doesn't respond
then it sends and error message.

Any ideas would be greatly appriciated.

Kind regards,

Daniel Falkenberg
