Answer : VBscript for ping -t

Hi, you can try this code.

If you have an audio file in MP3 format (or something Windows Media Player can play), this will play that file when a machine responds to Ping. When the computer is offline again, Windows Media Player will be closed, and when it is online again, the file will play.

Regards,

Rob.
