I've made a simple Java application which tries to ping a game server repeatedly until it gets a response and then tells the user that the server is up. I've bumped into a problem: the server doesn't respond to pings whether it's online or offline. I'm guessing ICMP is disabled. I did check to what IP is game client sending information using netstat command in Windows.

  • Game: Archeage
  • Game server IP: 193.105.173.130

What are my options here? How do I check if server is up without game client?

Check port number to which you connect and write a simple program that tries to connect to it (example)

  • BTW i think it is easier to make some kind of script (with smth like telnet to establish connection to the server - https://kb.acronis.com/content/7503) – Dmitrii Z. Sep 15 '15 at 03:51

That looks like a private network address... are you sure you're inside the same subnet? If so, many networks block ICMP traffic (to prevent "ping of death" scenarios). As @Dmitrii Zotov noted, you can also check the port number to which the game connects and then port scan it to see if it's open.
