So InetAddress.isReachable() will return false if the underline API IcmpSendEcho return with Status== IP_SUCESS and RoundTripTime > timeout.

Hi Rob,

Do you really think this extra check is required ?

if (pEchoReply->Status == IP_SUCCESS
+ && (int)pEchoReply->RoundTripTime <= timeout) I did not found any
doc(MSDN) which explains this. I think in case of IP_SUCCESS "RoundTripTime"
is always less than timeout. I think similar changes is required in
Inet6Address.c as well ? Thanks, Vyom

Hi folks,

I'd like to fix a bug caused by an incorrect assumption. The IcmpSendEcho* 
calls can actually return a similar set of errors regardless of whether the 
call itself failed or succeeded. This change checks that both the call and the 
ping were successful. In addition to that it takes a number of common failure 
causes into account before deciding to throw an exception.
