Hi shak,
Yes, you can catch an error 404 by using the:r
WebException Constructor (String, Exception, WebExceptionStatus, WebResponse)
There is an example in the local help with VB on how to do this.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Use the My.Computer.Netowrk.Ping Method.
Example is at:

Hi,
Glad that worked.
Put it in the Form Load Event, and use a msgbox or any method you like to tell your user wheather it worked or not. Double click on Form1 in designer to get to your form1 load event.
Hope this helps.
