Hi all, I'm a newbie to python and programming in general, so I wanted a simple project to start off. What I'm trying to do here is write a python command-line ping program, much like the Unix and Windows ping programs. I've got this much worked out already:
class ping def PING(IP, pings, size): and that's where I stop, because I realize I have no idea how to make python send ICMP request packets. My previous project(an email reader using poplib)used the stuff in section 18 of the modules index(internet protocols) but I can't seem to find an equivalent for ICMP packets. If anyone has help on this, I would really appreciate it. Cheers, Linus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
