Hi!
I've an application running on a RT Target that needs to perform periodic checks on devices that should be connected on the target subnet.
Is it possibile to perform a ping from a RT Target?
thanks in advance for any suggestion,
Marco

Thanks for your reply!
Strictly speaking what you propose is not a true ping, that is based on Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP).
Anyhow should be equivalent most of the times.
I've also found a similar approach using UDP ping (not specifically for Labview): http://www.networkuptime.com/nmap/page4-6.shtml

Hi!
I've just realized that the same problem was posted here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-Ping-a-network-device-from-RT-controller/td-p/1535420
the solution proposed by BlueCheese seems to work for me.
