status = Ping ( hostname, timeout )
Sends an ICMP packet to the hostname and waits timeout milliseconds for a
reply. The hostname may be a text name or an IP address. Return the round-
trip response time in milliseconds. Return 0 for no response, or a negative value
on error. Use the Network property LastPingError to get additional error
information.
The Ping command is synchronous, so no other CETerm operations occur while
it is active. You should minimize the timeout value. The property
MaximumPingTimeout limits the timeout you can specify in the Ping command.
