Hello hope everyone is well today. Alright I am making a Server/Client Program and I want to take it one step at a time.
For now I would like to make 1 form for the server and 1 form for the client.
My first goal is to have the Client app check if the Server is Available/Online
So I need to know how to have the client check if server is On/Active before doing much else..
Would Pinging The Server's IP Address be the ideal Method for this?
Should I ping to see if it is there and then also check to see if the communication port is Open or Closed?
Probably best if I did both right?
