I need to ping different objects on my network with an netduino plus

any suggestions on what code would work best

Im trying to use using System.Net.NetworkInformation; but I don't have that library available to me (constraint of netduino framework?)

suggestions?

  • Do you have system.net.sockets available? You could ping that way. – Botonomous Jan 24 '13 at 22:35
  • do you have access to check something like the following? if you are using .NET framework I would think that you do `IPAddress address = GetIpFromHost(ref host);` read this article also do a google search it's so much easier and faster [Ping a Hostname on Network](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3689728/ping-a-hostname-on-the-network) – MethodMan Jan 24 '13 at 22:37
  • Its not a full .net framework. Its a stripped down version made to work on that micro controller. – Botonomous Jan 24 '13 at 22:38
  • Anon what is a striped down version..? the netduino..? state your comment appropriately so it makes more sense – MethodMan Jan 24 '13 at 22:39

    It uses the .net MICRO framework. Here is a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Micro_Framework – Botonomous Jan 24 '13 at 22:41

This is an issue in Netduino project, but meanwhile someone created a library for Netduino which pings host. You can download ICMP library for Netduino here: http://www.blake-foster.com/projects/ICMPPing.zip

More information on this code is here: http://www.blake-foster.com/project.php?p=44

I might have the solution for you:

I've started fiddling with the code to make it do what I want, but the work done by the others actually does ping resources on the network.
