Ping a server to check if its alive

I wish to write a checkserverstatus.aspx that will run "ping IP" and if it has a reply, it means
its alive. I wish to also check if telnet/ftp service is running..

How can i code .aspx to send dDos commands such as ping/ftp/telnet to ip
and receive a response and write to the lbl.txt in VB.NET

Thanks.

Here's an idea:

Like suggested in the article, you will have to create a socket to test your ping. You just create the socket, send it the information you want, and wait for your response.

.net 2.0 makes ping easy with the new System.Net.NetworkInformation namespace, check out this article
