ping function is not working on vista

[yoop]

i just tested the same script on my xp and my vista machine, and on the vista it just returns 0 as ping, where on the xp it returns the a ping between 150 to 200, what is the problem there ?

my function looks like:

$pingtomysite=ping("http://www.google.com", 4000)

it might just be from a firewall muttley check that first and then try again

Agreed. Doesn't work for me on Vista Ultimate.

Agree for VistaBussines and AutoIt 3.2.12.0

But I use WMI_Ping

Doesn't work for me neither on WinXP but the below does as you specified an URL in stead of a valid HostName:

$pingtomysite = Ping("www.google.com", 4000)

Did anyone ever get this working? I've tried the WMI_Ping and not getting response time either...

Need to have some way of getting ping results.

Thanks,

Terry

What doesn't work?

As mentioned in the last post: It does work when using a proper hostname in stead of an URL.
