Peoples, An easy one I think ... Can anyone tell me an easy way to see if an IP address is able to be accessed. I have a program which needs to be able to see if a certain address is available before firing off a couple of processes. I managed to get a simple version running using both TNMEcho and TClientSocket in Delphi 4, but these only seem to run properly under NT, not windows 95, which is the intended platform. I basically just want to ping the address and get a yes / no answer. Thanks Scott. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz
