Ping

[AzKay]

With the "ping" command, it only seems to work, if I add a symbol on the end of the site.

Ping("www.google.com")
If @error = 0 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Offline")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "", "Online")
EndIf

If I try ping that, it reads offline, but if I make it .com: or .com/ it works.

Not my question though.

Is there a function to check the server, but through a specific port? Liek, If I wanted to check the status of a game server, eg, login server character server & map server, I would have to ping the same server, but at 3 different ports.

For your second question: The TCP... functions should be able to initial a connection to a specific port to test the availability of the function.

I tryed TCPConnect(), Doesnt seem to connect, "Wrong port" or something.

If trying to connect:

64.233.187.99:80 which is google.be on port 80, I know its right, because I sniffed it. Any ideas?

Maybe show what you have coded ?

This seems to work fine:

$server = "64.233.187.99"
$port = "80"
Ping($server)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Offline")
Else
    $rc = TCPStartup()
    $rc = TCPConnect($server,$port)
    $Err = @error
    If $rc = -1 Then 
        MsgBox(0, "Cannot connect", "Cannot connect Error:" & $Err )
    Else
        MsgBox(0, "Service OK","Service OK" )
    EndIf
    TCPShutdown() 
EndIf
