Thanks,
Unfortunately substituting os.system with os.popen results in the output being:
<open file 'ping www.google.com
', mode 'r' at 0x009C4650>
<open file 'ping www.boston.com
', mode 'r' at 0x009C4650>
<open file 'ping www.espn.com
', mode 'r' at 0x009C4650>
<open file 'ping www.redsox.com
', mode 'r' at 0x009C4650>
instead of giving me the ping stats "pinging etc etc, packets sent 4 recienved 4 etc)
Any idea around this?
