How to check if a computer is in the network

[OnlyOne]

Hello,
i want to send a simple "ping" to a TCP-IP-adress an receive the result if the IP is available.
Is there a easy way to to this in LV or do i have to to it over Start->Run->CMD ?
Thx

Use the System Exec.vi, cmd line ping (your computer name) and parse the standard output for your desired info
