    ping client

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find a simple ping client that would talk to a ping server that I have that's in java. I'm trying to create a simplistic ping client similar to the actual ping program found in windows/dos. I was wondering if anyone know of a simple C ping client example that I could follow to convert into a java program. The only requirement for the program is to take hostname and port that it would connect to the server on. This is also done in UDP. Thank you for your time.

    Here is the net tools package for Linux. You should be able to figure out the rest for the DOS world.

    I don't see a ping/icmp ping source files in that tar? Also these examples would not be what I call simple to follow. Thanks for your try, but I'll see if anyone else has a simplier example.

    Oops, sorry. I thought that was the same thing as this.

    Yea I see the ping.c file, but these are pretty complex tools especially when they're being used in real life distribution. Thanks for the quick response. Hopefully someone in here has a basic example of a ping client communicating with a ping server.
