Skrip Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Why does it fail always when I do ping("www.msn.com") but it doesn't fail when I do ping("www.hiddensoft.com") from the example.

BigDod Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 I have no idea why this happens but it is not caused by AutoIt. If you try the same thing in a command prompt you will get the same result, least ways I do. Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time ......T.S.

Moderators SmOke_N Posted June 28, 2006 Moderators Posted June 28, 2006 I have no idea why this happens but it is not caused by AutoIt. If you try the same thing in a command prompt you will get the same result, least ways I do.That was the first thing I tried (command prompt). The error says the host is offline in AutoIt.I googled, but, they didn't seem to know either (googled "can't ping MSN"):http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-321352.php Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
Uten Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Ping is a simple service / protocoll. You can turn it of, or have your firewall block it. So if you want to see if www.msn.com is alive use InetGet and try a page that will return a 404 (not on this server). Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum. Then ask unresolved questions :) Script plugin demo, Simple Trace udf, TrayMenuEx udf, IOChatter demo, freebasic multithreaded dll sample, PostMessage, Aspell, Code profiling
