Checking connection

Niektory · March 27th, 2004

I want to write a program which checks if my connection is working, but I don't know how to do it. I don't have experience in Internet programming at all.

You should at least tell us in which language you are planning to write it.
I personnaly dont know how but someone here probably does

Sorry, I forgot. I want to do it in C++, and I'm using Borland C++Builder on Windows XP. All I need is something that tries to connect to given IP and tells if it was successful.

Ping?

Yeah, something like that. Of course I can use ping.exe, but I rather want to code it myself.

Nah, not every server will accept pings.
