I have a program that connects to a remote server with an Indy idTCPClient component on a specified port. What I am trying to do is improve diagnostics for when the server doesnt respond. Ie there are two possible reasons for failure. 1/ The server is unreachable or blocked 2/ The listening program on the server is down.
When a failure occurs, I thought I would try pinging the server to see if present from in the code. No go. Ping returns an access denied - though using the ping command on the XP client works fine. Strange. Any other ideas for distinquishing 1 and 2? The firewall settings around both client and server are pretty extreme. -- Phil Scadden, Senior Scientist GNS Science Ltd 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential.
