What is the easiest way to check if a computer is alive and responding (say in ping/NetBios)? I’d like a deterministic method that I can time-limit.
One solution is simple access the share (File.GetDirectories(@’\compname’)) in a separate thread, and kill the thread if it takes too long.
Easy! Use
System.Net.NetworkInformationnamespace’s ping facility!http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.networkinformation.ping.aspx
