Raptor, WIFIRS21, .Net 4.3 - Simple Ping

Archive
1

Hello,
I am trying to figure out a simple “ping” call for wifi functionality, similar to opening the command prompt and typing “ping www.google.com”. I will have it debug.print the results. I have tried all sorts of code, httprequest, send request, basically everything I could find on the internet, most of which appears to apply to 4.2 and earlier and I can not get anything to work.
I am connected to my home network and I am assigned an IP, gateway and subnet.

Is there any documentation that explains the .netmf 4.3 wifi/network functions, i.e. webserver, client, helper, request, response, etc? I have tried to look through the object browser and have been surfing for quite a few hours, it just seems like most of the documentation is for 4.2 and earlier.

Really what I am after is being able to update my system clock from an internet server. There are some examples on the web, but again the code is not quite transferring over. So i figure a simple ping routine should be useful for checking connectivity to the web.

Thank you for any help and sorry for the long winded question,
Jordan

With getting the time from the internet you are pretty sure the connection is present …

Hi guys,
thanks for the replies. It looks like I am getting to be where I need to be. I now have my system able to update the clock via user input if there is not a network connected or if the internet is available it will go online and update the system clock. This is important because I need a current clock to update my data logging to an SD card.
I will post my entire program later on tonight. Thanks for the help.

V/R,
Jordan
