in reply to Net::Telnet Question

Are you absolutely sure your host should be responding to ICMP ping requests - Net::Ping also supports pinging via TCP & UDP.
Also, is there a firewall between you and the host configured to disallow any ping requests - most frequently ICMP packets?

HTH,

At last, a user level that overstates my experience :-))

    Bloodnok -

    I'll have to look at the other ping options. I am using it with the default. I was able to ping from a cmd prompt before and after the script. Thanks for the ideas.

    Regards,
    Scott
