Yes, we want a ping. This is for a diagnostics test. First ping, then try openning an oracle connect, then try to retrieve data, then try openning an FTP connect, then try FTP actions.....so on and so on and displaying the results on screen.

I ask because many people mistakenly think that if you can ping you can open a TCP port and if you can't ping you can't. Both are false. Ex, many network admins turn off ping response (to prevent ping-of-death attacks). And, just because you can ping doesn't mean that the port you want/need is open. I'd suggest actually trying to open a connection to the port that you need. HTH. ______________________________ - David Lanouette Be not afraid of growing slowly, be only afraid of standing still.
