Ping within AutoIt

[shornw]

Hi all,

I cant quite get my head round what's happening here.... using the following:

$p1 = Ping("10.179.172.175",6000)
MsgBox(0, "Result", $p1)
MsgBox(0, "Error", @error)

if I target an address on the same subnet, I get a roundtrip time response. If I ping www.google.co.uk, I get a roundtrip time response. The bit that's messing with my head is, if I ping any address on a different subnet (which is routed) I get a 0 roundtrip time (even with a 10000 timeout) but also a @error response of 0. I am able to ping the addresses from a command line

does anyone have any explanation for this?

Thanks for looking

The @Error flag is reset after the MsgBox function!

$p1 = Ping("10.179.172.175",6000)
MsgBox(0, "Result", $p1 & @CRLF & "@Error: " & @Error)
