Yesterday, I needed to find an available IP on our network. I had to do it the old fashioned way: open command line and start guessing at what to ping. Of course, I looked to AutoIt to make a tool that can take out the guesswork. I like a few thing I did to it that were new to me such as when the user enters an incorrect number, it highlights the incorrect fields. It's nothing incredible, but I think it's pretty neat.

Check it out below:

Edit: Changed labels from confusing terms like "Host is offline" to "Available". It makes more sense. Plus, I found a few bugs and fixed them. New code below:

When you don't get a reply from a ping it doesn't mean that the host is offline.
Why can I not ping ip addresses outside my ip range?

Nice small app!

I wrote something similar -> Check Online Status

I used the error return codes right from AutoIt to let the user know the status. I don't really know the difference between "host offline" and "unreachable". I assume it may have something to do with how many hops were made or PTR records. Either way, I thought it would be better to tell the user the reason why the address did not ping rather than group all of them together without explanation.

At first, I almost allowed the user to put in any numbers that they wanted. But error checking for all that would be a nightmare. Also, I thought it would be nice to already give the user his/her own first three octets, to save some typing.

I took a look at your script and (of course), it is incredible. I like how you streamed the bmps into the code. I need to learn more about doing that. Very cool app that you made!

I wouldn't say it is incredible - maybe useful only!
