Why do I need to pipe it? I'm not doubting that you are probably correct...I am just curious as to why. My ping runs, but it is minimized. I can switch over to that window real quick, but that really isn't very good. And, then it just disappears too. One of the things that I would like this to do is to simply check that the address is available, at least at a ping level. I was also hoping that I could connect to a telnet session for the chosen address, by clicking a button. This would give me an outlet for all else that I need...I think. Thanks for the help so far!
