I tried this from C++ once a couple of years ago and had the same problem.
Wait until you get that bit working, then you'll find that sometimes windows
caches network connection information, and even when the box at the other
end is back up again the connection still fails for an hour 8-)

To get it working in the end I shelled out to the real PING program, piped
the output to a file, and just checked it for the text "Reply from". Sad I
know but it DID WORK! 8-)

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Problems with a simple script
I put together this simple script but seem to be having problems with it.
All the script does is ping an IP addy and then replies back if it is up or
down. The problem is with the fsockopen command. It seems if the IP is up it
works fine, only when the IP is offline does it hang at that point in the
script. It will hang forever at this point or until the default timeout (30
sec.) in the php.ini file. Does anyone no of a fix or a work around for
this? Thanks for the help!
#!c:\php
<?
$description_x = "11.64.68.162";
$port_x = "7";
$ptime_x = "10";
$status1 = "UP";
$status2="$description_x unreachable";
$file = fsockopen($description_x,$port_x,$errno,$errstr,$ptime_x);
if (!$file)
//Used for debugging
echo "$status1";
else
echo "$status2";
//end debugging
