Hello all.

 

I work for a company and recently we have received a lot of users calling in with VPN issues. Basically it's just because they have horrible connections.

 

I am trying to write a small script that will allow a user to ping our vpn server address and have either "great, good, avg, bad, no connection" displayed based on the ping replies.

 

I wrote the script no problem using fping but forgot that this is just running the ping command from the server itself, not the actual users PC/connection. What I'd like to do is ping from the localhost, not the server.

 

Basically what I'd like to accomplish is the same thing as telling the user to run "ping vpnhost.com" from a command line, but I'd like to do it from a easy to use GUI that I can just drop on onto their desktop as a shortcut.

 

Is this possible without having to write some sort of activex to utilize the users system?

 

TIA
