| 753452 | 2009-03-04 21:25:00 | Hi all, So Ive recently got into writing a few more batch scripts lately that constantly ping out for use during an online game -- Useful to know if somebody at home is sending 20MB emails or if its the hosts connection. Anyways, what Im looking for now is something a little more advanced. Im going to be leaving home in a few months when I get married, and want to leave behind a 'script' that'll help my family quickly diagnose if they're having connectivity issues and why. Here's what I want it to do: Run ipconfig -- If it has an IP, its connected to the WiFi. If not, the repeater or main AP may need rebooting ping 192.168.178.3 -- This is the repeater, if it can see that, then the repeater node is working ping 192.168.178.5 -- This is the main AP, if it can ping this, it means that all LAN filesharing etc should be fully functional at least ping 192.168.178.99 -- This is the Printer, so even if the 'net is down they should be able to print ping 208.67.222.222 -- (OpenDNS) This should tell them if they're connected to the 'net and there's just a problem with DNS ping trademe.co.nz -- This should tell them that its just the site they're trying to get to thats broken I know its possible to have all of the above just "run", but without writing some documentation that says "If it says reply from XX time=18ms" then it means its working, or if it says "request timed out" it means its failing... It'd be nice if it just flashed up and said: IP Configured -- You're on the Wireless Repeater is up Main Wireless Access Point is up Printer is up Internet is up TradeMe is working As it tries each of the tests. My problem is I have no idea how to take the information from the XP / Vista ping results and strip them down etc ... Any ideas? Cheers Chill. |
