Cannot figure out how to ping multiple computers (STUCK!)

[swstrau118]

I am trying to figure out how to ping multiple computers every 2 minutes from my GUI that have I created and hide the pinging. I want the script to refer to a text file that contains the hostnames and ping them every two minutes. If all computers from that list come back successful then It will display a stop light picture with a green light. If one or more are unsuccessful then I want it to pop up with the hostname that it was unable to ping and show a red light.

Here is what I have so far.. any help is greatly appreciated! I'm so stuck!!

Please search the forum for "multiple Ping text file". IIRC you will find a lot of examples.
