I have some COMponents that allow(ed) me to use ping in my ASP pages prior to going to .NET. Now, I can still use them with alot of tweaking, but I was wondering if anyone knew a better way to use .NET to do some simple pinging. I just want to be able to ping by name or ip address and return both. I am using ASP.net and VB instead of C#. Any help would be greatly appreciated.I guess noone knows? Or, i guess this is impossible. :-(
