It's not related to delphi (I think is a really old tech from 7 to 8-year dead).<br />
You can get the same by using something like: <br />
Powershell<br />
Test-Connection localhost -Count 4<br />
<br />
or C#<br />

I use second approach from Geert post and I can tell that there is no need to use admin privileges.

<div>
Nope, just plain PowerShell or plain C#, not suggesting to do anything on delphi.

Jose, the question was how to program it in Delphi<br />
Ah well, sometimes people don't really read the question.<br />
<br />
delphi is 7-or-8 year dead tech ?<br />
really ?<br />
i guess you must be livin on an island somewhere where all tech is over a decade old then<br />
it doesn't mean that when you're not capable of using it, it doesn't exist or work anymore ...

I put this project aside for now. It just doesn't look very doable to me. I thought it would be much easier. I will try to close the question.

Hi, I'm using Delphi XE7. I'm writing my first IP related program. After getting the basics working, I will make it ping three addresses repeatedly and an onscreen display will indicate which sites are not reachable.<br />
For now I am simply trying to ping an address and get something I can use to determine if I got a reply.<br />
I have changed the IP address in this post because I probably shouldn't publish it. It is another computer on this network. If I open a command Prompt and ping this address, I get a reply. When I ping using my program, I get 'Socket Error # 10013 &nbsp;Access Denied'.<br />
What am I doing wrong, or not doing ?<br />

How to Ping

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity. It provides powerful VCL controls for Windows 10 and enables FMX development for Windows, Mac and Mobile. Delphi is your choice for ultrafast Enterprise Strong Development™. Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances.
