Ping Reply - No such host is known

[wonderingnoname]

Hello everyone,

I am using Ping.Send on my workflow but I am getting this error:

System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingException: An exception occurred during a Ping request. —> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No such host is known
at System.Net.Dns.GetAddrInfo(String name)

I am not familiar with network. I tried to ping the ip on cmd but it works fine. So I am thinking to just handle or catch this error. Is there any way I can do that?

[Tiberiu_Niculescu (Tibi)]

yes, use a try catch activity.

Hey @wonderingnoname

You can use my attached sample from an existing old Thread.

Checking IP Address in my cmd

Hey @Kuenzang Hey You can either use it via code or by powershell too you have to use System.Net.NetworkInformation namespace then you can use: Find below reference sample to ping a site either via website address or IPAddress in below sample in Ipaddress variable you can either assign a website address or ip both will work and response will be like [image] PingSample.xaml (6.6 KB) You can check with status is success then ping is working oth…

In 1 process parallel activities of cmd

Hey @RagsG Yes you can. Find attached Sample for your reference : - CmdSample.xaml (4.9 KB) Regards…!! Aksh

Hey @Kuenzang Check my sample you have to defined the data type of ping and as i mentioned earlier you have to import the namespace of System.Net.NetworkInformation in your import panel Regards…!! Aksh
