I meant to say that the ping its self failed. I think it is a couple of things none of which is an error. 1.) The target host blocked pings after a certain count example Site5 does this. 2.) My ping loop is running to fast at which point the host declines and the ping fails 3.) It's a black hole which is what we are trying to detect. It looks good now I have it working for Linux, Unix, OS X, BSD, and Windows... Thanks you all for your help. Oh I'll share code if anyone is interested. Not a big deal .. . . -dale -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
