I have a client application that I want (behind the scenes) to check and make sure a remote host is up (i.e. by ping or TCP connect). I'm assuming that, since I want this to go on "unknowingly" to the user, that I would put this in a thread. My question is, how would I go about creating the thread? I have seen examples that used classes, and other examples that just called one thread start command - when should you use one over another? Thanks in advance.
