Ping a network

I can't seem to figure out the BrightScript code that makes a player ping an existing network. Also, how would I store the variables to a local web server, so when I open the data logs, I'll have time-stamped entries of whether or not said ping worked?

    The Diagnostic Web UI has a Ping feature.

    I suppose that you could use an HTTP request from the player itself.

     

    Here is the code from the DWS page

    <h2>PING</h2>

    Please enter a IP/DNS address below that you wish to ping.
    <form action="/ping.html" method="get">
    <input type="hidden" name="ref" value="diagnostics.html" />
    <input class="text" name="dnsname" size="80"/><br>
    <input class="button" type="submit" value="Ping"/>
    </form>

     

    And this is the response, which you'd need to parse, to indicate success or failure.

    <h2>Ping Results</h2>

    <div class="content">
    <pre>
    <b>192.168.150.1</b><br>
    PING 10/10: 904/1562/6919us<br>
    <b>192.168.150.1</b><br>
    PING 10/10: 713/880/1005us<br>

    Once you get a result, you could manually submit a system log, and include a timestamp as part of the entry's text.

    I hope that helped.

    Script away! :)
