amakrkr 1 Posted June 22, 2010 Hello all, i have the following question is there a way to determine if website is up and running without actually pinging it? I have tried searching the forum and help but i dont even know what key word to use... As i said i cant ping website ... "Ping time out" Any ideas are most welcome! Thanks for reading.

Juvigy 49 Posted June 22, 2010 If you cant ping it there are 2 possibilities: 1.It is down 2.Something is blocking your ping requests. In most of the cases (90%) it is safe to conclude that site is down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MiserableLife 0 Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) maybe you can try using InetGet(download the web page) to check if the site is on. InetGet('http://google.com',@TempDir&'\index.htm') If @error Then Msgbox(0,'','Google is down!') Else MsgBox(0,'','Google is working!') EndIf Edited June 22, 2010 by MiserableLife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COD3369 1 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) TRY THIS... Ping ( "www.google.com", 250) If @error Then MsgBox(4096, "Status", "Your Web Site is DOWN" ) Else MsgBox(4096, "Status", "Your Web Site is UP" ) EndIf Edited October 30, 2012 by verma123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
water 2,409 Posted October 30, 2012 Hi verma123, this thread has been quiet for more than two years. Do you think the problem hasn't been solved by now? Btw: your "solution" doesn't do what the OP needed.
