Re: Checking for Network Connection Stutus

Ping the adapter you want to know about. How do I do that if I don't know it's IP, or even if it has one? Adapters don't have individual host names as far as I am aware.

Checking for Network Connection Stutus

I have a few network connections (adapters) on my PC and I want to be able to check to see which ones are connected and then do different actions based on the results.

EG:

2) If yes GOTO 5
3) If no, connect
4) Wait until connected (checking ...
