  Can someone help me check if i'm writing correctly
  Here is my code:
  
  Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
  Dim objPingHost1 As New clsPing
  Dim lngPingReply1 As Long
  txtHost.Text = "152.226.142.3"
  
  objPingHost1.TimeOut = 5000
  objPingHost1.DataSize = 32
  objPingHost1.Host = Trim(Me.txtHost.Text)
  
  'Me.txtLog.Text = "Trying to ping" & Trim(Me.txtHost.Text) & "..."
  
  lngPingReply1 = objPingHost1.Ping()
  
  If (lngPingReply1 = objPingHost1.PING_ERROR) Then
  Me.txtLog.Text &= vbCrLf & "Camera2 OFF" '& objPingHost1.GetLastError.Description
  Else
  Me.txtLog.Text &= vbCrLf & "Camera2 ON" '& lngPingReply1 & "msec"
  End If
  End Sub

  Can you explain a bit more

  I don't understand this part, 'and then subscribe to the Tick event of the timer where you call the ping code'

  thanks

  Drag and drop a timer to a Windows Form.Right click on it and click properties.In the property grid that comes up,set Interval to 12000.And click on the events tab(yellow in color)and double click on "Tick".You will see code such as

  private void timer1_Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

  {

  //Write ping code here

  }

  This will execute the ping code once in 120 sec.

  Hi,
  
  You can use both, the timer as mintioned code or use windows schedule to run the code"or At command in the cmd.exe".

  hi,

  I don't understand what you mean. Can you explain further

  Hi,
  
  I mean you have two ways to achieve this goal:
  1) by writing the code directly into your project (using timer control). The Guys already wrote this in the replies.
  2) by using windows schedule tool (in the control panel you'll find the tool "Scheduled Tasks"), use it from GUI or from Command line "at.exe".
  
  I hope this makes things clear!

  Add a timer to your form.(say timer1)

  timer1.Interval = 120000;(120*1000 ms)

  and then subscribe to the Tick event of the timer where you call the ping code.

  Let me know if this is what you were looking for
