    I take it by 'simulation' you mean one that actually pings, not just clever manipulation of strings. if this is the case, i suggest you read up on ICMP. Also, what language are you using? make sure you know how to correctly use sockets and send ICMP packets in your selected language.

    has a few implementation of the ICMP protocol?
    i know of one in C++ for raw sockets, and another
    in Visual Basic (if win32) for ICMP using Winsock...
    just goto planetsourcecode.com and search for ->
    "ping icmp raw sockets" ... that should point you
    in the general direction
    yeah, I\'m gonna need that by friday...
