vinnyd79 - your answer was quite similar - the reason I chose Ark's comment as the answer though is his example was better documented, in my opinion.<br />
<br />
However, though it wasn't part of my question, the Traceroute functionality will most likely come in handy someday AND you did give an applicable answer. &nbsp;So I have created a &quot;points question&quot; for you - <a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qManageQuestion.jsp?ta=visualbasic&qid=20170637" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qManageQuestion.jsp?ta=visualbasic&qid=20170637</a>

Can someone post sample code for a ping application? &nbsp;I want to include a &quot;site status&quot; for an app I am trying to write and want to be able to ping that site via vb and determine the number of lost packets (say out of 10). &nbsp;<br />

Thanks

Writing a Ping Routine

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
