i have no idea why this does not work. here again my function:

void __fastcall TForm1::Button2Click(TObject *Sender)
{
   AnsiString s;
   IdIcmpClient1->Ping(Edit1->Text,0);
   switch(IdIcmpClient1->ReplyStatus.ReplyStatusType)
   {
      case rsEcho:
         s = "Reply from " + IdIcmpClient1->ReplyStatus.FromIpAddress
         + (": bytes=" +
AnsiString(IdIcmpClient1->ReplyStatus.BytesReceived))
         + (" time=" +
AnsiString(IdIcmpClient1->ReplyStatus.MsRoundTripTime) + "ms")
         + (" TTL=" + AnsiString(IdIcmpClient1->ReplyStatus.TimeToLive));
         Memo1->Lines->Add(s);
      break;

      case rsError:
         ShowMessage("Request Error");
      break;

      case rsTimeOut:
         ShowMessage("Request Timed Out");
      break;

      case rsErrorUnreachable:
         ShowMessage("Host Unreachable");
      break;

      case rsErrorTTLExceeded:
         ShowMessage("TTL Exceeded");
      break;
   }

}
