Re: a *fast* check for whether another machine is on the local network?

Would a timeout you control be satisfactory? I was picturing LAN rather than VPN, so I was imagining a 50 ms timeout, but maybe you will need a second. The timeout spec for Windows ping has ms resolution. The timeout for OS X ping has a second resolution. You can try the arp test first.

If I am understanding correctly you might try using either the netstat or route commands to find your default gateway, and if there is none then save things to the local database. The problem with this approach will be determining the right syntax to use for the current platform your code is r

It sounds like what you are really looking for is a local gateway to get to the Internet, and to where ever the time entries are made? It is a convention may administrators use to put gateways at either end of the local network, i.e. nnn.nnn.nnn.1 or nnn.nnn.nnn.255, but you would still need t

According to the the dictionary: openSockets: Returns a list of the currently open sockets. I believe they mean on the localhost, although it doesn't specifically say so. I think you will need to use the shell command to ping whatever address(es) you had in mind. On a class C, or 24 bit CIDR
