gui monitor network connection up/down

[paul d purvis]

please see Dave Bigg's post here on pinging with pbwin10
http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb....php?p=403698#

i will try his code merged into the internet.bas source code.

a short test seem to get things going with one exception that i am not clear on as yet
and that is in using the icmp.dll file or using the Iphlpapi.dll file for icmp functions

[paul d purvis]

in the program below, if you replace icmp.dll with Iphlpapi.dll in the declare functions then you can only run this program with xp or better
i am using icmp.dll with this program


after working with the code to make it pbwin10 compatible, i went ahead and used of Dave Biggs code with some slight adjustments.
thanks Dave for responding to Russ Scole's post with a way to ping, see the above posting for a link

i also want to mention that if i read right on the internet, 1000 milliseconds is standard timeout period for pinging although this program has a default timeout much lower
unless you changed it in the command tail, but even though i have shortened it in practice, i cannot actually get the icmpsendecho to timeout when i think it should timeout.

i did your test after a rewrite in pbwin10 source, no sense in doing test with the old, right?

i tested your conditions on my computer, a windows 2000 pro
in your test change www.yahoo.com to firewall
the www.yahoo.com is an unbroken text that becomes the text in the box

internet.exe 10.1.1.50 -t 50 -d 0 -s 0 -bc -v firewall
also because this is a lan connection, you might not lose any ping responses, the ones you will get will be fast, but you might do this
internet.exe 10.1.1.50 10.1.1.50 10.1.1.50 -t 50 -d 0 -s 0 -bc -v firewall

i had no issues, all worked as expected
if you have issues, please let me know

[paul d purvis]

a new improved version
made some minor changes to improve the progam
added a yellow light option
the new option command tail is -yellowlight after a single location to ping
so if you want a yellow light ofter the faiilure to ping the second location
you can use the command:
internet a.a.a.a b.b.b.b -yellowlight c.c.c.c d.d.d.d
or
internet a.a.a.a a.a.a.a -yellowlight b.b.b.b c.c.c.c

the yellow light might help to see ping response failures if you are having to troubleshoot connection issues

This program seems to have a problem in windows 7.
I will work on it but i do not even have a win 7 machine setup
