Hi Trallala,
Go to the Hamilton Design's download site:

He made a VI called 'Improved Ping'. Out of the box it only works on
Windows because it uses the System Exec.vi to call ping. It was also
saved as LV6.1.
If you want to use some of the native TCP commands the best you can do is
open and close a connection to an address using a known open port. Make
sure to change the timeout from 60000ms to something a lot smaller.
Good luck,
-Kevin
