Re: Network – setting "Client" timeout duration? Reply #1 - Jan 19th, 2010, 12:52pm   Nevermind, a co-worker helped me solve it. His sketch uses a bit of Java to ping the server & make sure it's there. Code: void setup(){  import java.net.InetAddress;  String host = "192.168.1.12";  int timeOut = 3000; // milliseconds  boolean pingStat;  try {    pingStat = InetAddress.getByName(host).isReachable(timeOut);    println(pingStat);  }  catch(Exception E){  } }
