network

i have a shortcut to another computer like this...

\\BROOK-PC\Users\Brooky\Desktop\ZOO 26.08.08

is there a command to ping (see if network is available to this address).

or check the link,.. or something like that.

Ping ( address or hostname [, timeout] )

FileExists ( "path" )

To be a bit precise what you need ...

You need to:

1. Use _StringBetween and use \\ and \ to get BROOK-PC value.

2. Then when you have the value use ping

3. If Ping > 0 then use FileExists()

Should do the trick.
