Is Network Alive - Not working in Win2000

[friends]

Hi all. I don't remember who actually wrote this script.

However.... I loved it very much and find it very useful

for me to implement it with my script.

It works fine with WinXP, but not Windows 2000 (SP4).

I wonder if someone can fix it.... so that it works well

in Win2000.

Thanks for the help.

Here's the coding.... (Credit: Thanks to the script writer)

; 1 means alive
; 0 means disconnect

WHILE 1
  ;DLLOpen ("SENSAPI.dll")
   
   $x = DLLCall ("SENSAPI1.dll","int","IsNetworkAlive")
   
   msgbox (4096,"TEST",$x[0], 3)
   
   IF $x[0] = 0 THEN 
      MsgBox (0, "", "Kindly contact MIS !", 3)
   ELSE 
       MsgBox (0, "", "Network is alive !", 3)
   ENDIF 
    
  ;DLLClose ("SENSAPI.dll")
WEND

Works for me (Windows 2000 SP3). I changed "SENSAPI1.DLL" to "SENSAPI.DLL" in the DLLCall. Maybe that was the problem - you've incorrectly referenced the DLL?

Oh yaa.... thanks for the notification.

How careless I am.... I didn't notice that there is "1" at the back

of the DLL file.... :">

thanks dude.... I think it should work now !

$x = DLLCall ("SENSAPI1.dll","int","IsNetworkAlive")

acccording to MSDN, IsNetworkAlive needs a parameter. MSDN Link, so use this (untested):

const $NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN 0x00000001     
const $NETWORK_ALIVE_WAN 0x00000002
const $NETWORK_ALIVE_AOL 0x00000004

$flags = $NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN 
$x = DLLCall ("SENSAPI1.dll","int","IsNetworkAlive","long", $flags)

Sorry... the code given does not work.

I'm not familiar with the DLLCALL stuffs yet.... I hope someone

could give me a working example for this.

Please see the error message.

Thank you.

What that means is do this to the code... add an equal sign (=).

const $NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN = 0x00000001    
const $NETWORK_ALIVE_WAN = 0x00000002
const $NETWORK_ALIVE_AOL = 0x00000004

$flags = $NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN
$x = DLLCall ("SENSAPI1.dll","int","IsNetworkAlive","long", $flags)

Try to learn. Dont just ask for someone to use their time for your cause. I cant believe you didnt get that error. Had absolutely nothing to do with the DLLCall() function.

Can someone please help me up with the network detection for Windows 2000 SP4 ?

I had tried out the script given, it didn't work out.

I need this to detect if the network is established or not.

Hope someone will help me up with this.

Thanks in advance

If I recall this can be done with WMI.

I forget where but search the forums or find it on http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....i_reference.asp

you may also be able make your own UDF to accomplish what you want

something without com or dllcalls

somthing like

If @ipaddress1 <> "0.0.0.0" AND @ipaddress1 <> "127.0.0.1" Then
     MsgBox( 48, "Network Status", "Network Connection Up")
Else
     MsgBox( 48, "Network Status", "Network Connection Down")
EndIf

I havent tested that but I cant think why it shouldnt work.

But you learning how to do WMI or DLLcalls and writing your own script would be a better answer.

What resource are you trying to reach on the network?

If you test for that, maybe I can help.

There have been multiple threads on detecting accessibility of a network drive.
