Basically I have this file below. I want to check various pc's across a corporate network by pinging the pc name not the IP. I can put the pc name in the hosts.txt file and it works ok however, I want to also put a short description after the pc name that shows up in the results file. So basically I want to ping "PCname computer at station 10" and if I get no response I want that to show up in the results file not just the name.

Can anyone help?

Yeah, would help but... beer FTW lol.

Bahhhh

Anyone?

Sorry man you lost me at pinging

you know there's software out there for this sort of thing

it sounds like your trying to do a network audit
i think SMS has some tools which can help you out assuming
your a network admin....

I'm not a network admin and although this is legit I don't want to deal with the IT people. Surely this script can me modified to do what I want to do.
