Okay so I have got part of it but like parts are missing that would be interesting or hand to know how to do. So like what I am looking for is a ping program with commands or possibly a windows and you type in the remote address and the size of the packet you will send. I have gotten this far can anyone help me?
Code:
#include<windows.h>
int main()
{
system("ping host address");
return 0;
}
you have several steps to do
1. create a fucntion that will send a request
2. for now - you can use you system approach
3. you will use sprintf to form a command
[code]
char buffer[1024];
sprintf(buffer,"ping %s -l %d > res.txt", hostname, size);
system(buffer);
4. and other function that will parse the res.txt file to present the result
5. After that you can build simple GUI program that will use these 2 functions
6. After that you can switch to using winsock2 library and create ping packet directly and process the response in a proper way
That doesn't however address the issue of being able to change the packet size. Which seem s to be the hardest and most confusing.Quote:

You will need to set the correct "ping" option to manage the packet length.
In a Linux terminal <man ping> will display the command's manual. I have no clue about windows.
