As net admin i would check in order 1) ping the dns of LAN, for example a Linux box inside the LAN example ping 192.168.0.3
2)if there is no DNS in LAN, ping the DNS of ISP example ping the.dnsofisp.com 3) if you are sure that you have a working DNS, ping google example ping www.google.com 3) if there is no result make traceroute to check where the packets dont pass throught. example traceroute www.google.com 4) if the packets stops on your ip, you dont have set Default Route. Make a route command to check your routes. example: route 6) if you get user@ubuntu-laptop:~$ ping www.google.com ping: unknown host www.google.com or user@ubuntu-laptop:~$ traceroute www.google.com www.google.com: Name or service not known Cannot handle "host" cmdline arg `www.google.com' on position 1 (argc 1) your netcard is down. Make an ifconfig to check the status. example: ifconfig With this pseudo-algorithm you can check the status of your network on your machine. To fix something you must make something like route add default gw 192.168.0.3 or other ip and ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.0.1 the values: eth0, ip can be in your program as values from textboxes or valuebox. also you need to use EXEC or SHELL instruction and make a virtual terminal with a TextArea to get the result of SHELL or EXEC instruction. in quick thought that is the solution i made. -- Regards, Demosthenes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and publish websites with WebMatrix Use the most popular FREE web apps or write code yourself; WebMatrix provides all the features you need to develop and publish your website. http://p.sf.net/sfu/ms-webmatrix-sf _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
