I'm looking for a solution to this myself. Slightly different problem in
that our ISP is messing us around and our site is up and down like a yo-yo
so I'd like to write a routine to ping the site every two minutes or so. The
problem I have is that the Indy ping works fine in XP but fails in Vista.
Any solutions?
TIA
