IP test

[_Chris_]

I need code that will test a network connection, i have the ping command and i can get it to ping the gateway to test the connection but i want it to have a timeout to stop testing if the connection dosent work after 30 seconds. Or a cancel button to stop testing connection

Pings a host and returns the roundtrip-time.

Ping ( address or hostname [, timeout] )

timeout [optional] Is the time to wait for an answer in milliseconds (default is 4000).

Return Value

Success: Returns the roundtrip-time in milliseconds ( greater than 0 ).

When the function fails (returns 0) @error contains extended information:
