If the site "isn't there" surely the ping will time out?

WS_Ping is a nice utulity that will not only ping a site but
TRACE-ROUTE it too, listing the time taken from one stage in the
packet's journey to the next router.

WS_Ping also sends 10 messages when Ping-ing which not only allows
averaging of the response time but also shows up where packets are
being *lost* which may not be apparent on a single packet ping test.

Cheers,
Derek
