I've used a component called TPing before to do what you want. I can't remember where I got it from, but a quick Google finds matches on Torry's, so go have a look there. And yes, it was free.
I created a simple thread class to run the Ping in, 'cos it takes a second or so to return and I wanted to keep my GUI responsive. HTH, Conor -----Original Message----- From: Alistair George [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all. I want to be able to show in the client form whether my machine is up on the net by its I.P. address. Is this called 'ping' or 'finger'? For example, I want to provide a service to a client, I am online and when he comes online his Client screen shows a Green LED to indicate the service is available. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
