I have a program to open a file from remote machine in the LAN. I would like to test if the remote machine is alive before trying to open the file. How do I use ping command to achive this? Do I have to write my own ping program or this? Can’t I use existing ping program?
Thanks in anticipation

just type: ping xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
from your command line.
where xxxx..xx is the ip adres your remote machine uses.
example: ping 127.0.0.1 is your local machine.
if the answer is reply from then it’s ok.
