Ping having issues..

[Ghost21 0]

In one of my scripts I have

$var = Ping($device, 500)

msgbox(0,"PING",$var & " ms")

and no matter what device I ping it gives me " 0 " even though if I ping it through dos it responds..

If I make a new script and just add

$var = Ping($device, 500)

msgbox(0,"PING",$var & " ms")

and the device name it shows me the right response..

What would be stopping this from responding correct..

Sounds as though your variable might be being modified by something else in your code.

Without seeing it, it virtually impossible to give any other answer, apart from try making $device a constant.

Just be sure $device is a correct server name or address... include the device name in the MsgBox
