I am still working on the idea, but this is the "problem" as of now. I have 'n' machines tasked with pinging two addresses. All machines: Say: Address 1 and address 2. If Address 1 is not ping-able, address 2 is Unknown. Address status is ONLINE, OFFLINE, UNKNOWN. I sort of have how each dev…

Sorry man. I'll delete that post. I was inappropriate.

Don't worry. I know I am not the easiest to understand. That is a normal day for me. Yes, it would be nice if I could explain things better, but then I wouldn't be me. I'm working on it now, but am now stuck with the && function to detect two variables being set at the same time. I found this …

[image] Trying_to_learn: found this as a base line: if (var1 ==1 ) && (var2==1) Well if you actually wrote that, you would get an error. Basic syntax is ... if(something) Or in your case ... if((something) && (somethingElse)) Bottom line is the if must be contained by parenthesis. I.e.…

You didn't. I just know I am. I just seem to have this inability to explain things and it really makes it difficult to explai... Yeah, anyway. So, I hope you can understand how I feel when I am trying to ask a question but am unable to word it in a way that anyone else can understand. That isn'…
