Hey,
I am writing a backup program for my network that will run on startup, and copy files from one pc to a location on the server pc.
Before i copy the files though i need to see if the server is presently connected to the network or if it is simply turned off.
So baically i need help on finding out if a pc is connected to the network, i would like to find out by using its network name in this case 'h-server'. Or if i cant do this then i can use its IP. I did think about using ping from my prog and seeing what the output was but i thought this would be taking the long way round...
Thanks for any help,
TNT
