Hi

Do anyone know if or how its possible to Ping an static IP address or DNS? Is it possible with the built in features or do I have to use an Extension (which one?)

I have several IP addresses and DNS names I need to ping, and would like to do that with an app built with app inventor.

Thanks in advance for any info or guidance

With this extension you can ping.

ping -c 3 192.168.1.1

Hi again.
It looks like I cant ping DNS names (computernames) . Is that right?

Create a dictionary or list,
192.168.1.12, eqp1
192.168.1.15, eqp2...

I need to ping the DNS name because they are using DHCP, and I dont know the IP.

ping -c 3 community.appinventor.mit.edu

or
try change ip address dns local in your android device
