Fields

BadDestination BadDestination BadDestination BadDestination 11018

The ICMP echo request failed because the destination IP address cannot receive ICMP echo requests or should never appear in the destination address field of any IP datagram. For example, calling Send and specifying IP address "000.0.0.0" returns this status.
BadHeader BadHeader BadHeader BadHeader 11042

The ICMP echo request failed because the header is invalid.
BadOption BadOption BadOption BadOption 11007

The ICMP echo request failed because it contains an invalid option.
BadRoute BadRoute BadRoute BadRoute 11012

The ICMP echo request failed because there is no valid route between the source and destination computers.
DestinationHostUnreachable DestinationHostUnreachable DestinationHostUnreachable DestinationHostUnreachable 11003

The ICMP echo request failed because the destination computer is not reachable.
DestinationNetworkUnreachable DestinationNetworkUnreachable DestinationNetworkUnreachable DestinationNetworkUnreachable 11002

The ICMP echo request failed because the network that contains the destination computer is not reachable.
DestinationPortUnreachable DestinationPortUnreachable DestinationPortUnreachable DestinationPortUnreachable 11005

The ICMP echo request failed because the port on the destination computer is not available.
DestinationProhibited DestinationProhibited DestinationProhibited DestinationProhibited 11004

The ICMPv6 echo request failed because contact with the destination computer is administratively prohibited. This value applies only to IPv6.
DestinationProtocolUnreachable DestinationProtocolUnreachable DestinationProtocolUnreachable DestinationProtocolUnreachable 11004

The ICMP echo request failed because the destination computer that is specified in an ICMP echo message is not reachable, because it does not support the packet's protocol. This value applies only to IPv4. This value is described in IETF RFC 1812 as Communication Administratively Prohibited.
DestinationScopeMismatch DestinationScopeMismatch DestinationScopeMismatch DestinationScopeMismatch 11045

The ICMP echo request failed because the source address and destination address that are specified in an ICMP echo message are not in the same scope. This is typically caused by a router forwarding a packet using an interface that is outside the scope of the source address. Address scopes (link-local, site-local, and global scope) determine where on the network an address is valid.
DestinationUnreachable DestinationUnreachable DestinationUnreachable DestinationUnreachable 11040

The ICMP echo request failed because the destination computer that is specified in an ICMP echo message is not reachable; the exact cause of problem is unknown.
HardwareError HardwareError HardwareError HardwareError 11008

The ICMP echo request failed because of a hardware error.
IcmpError IcmpError IcmpError IcmpError 11044

The ICMP echo request failed because of an ICMP protocol error.
NoResources NoResources NoResources NoResources 11006

The ICMP echo request failed because of insufficient network resources.
PacketTooBig PacketTooBig PacketTooBig PacketTooBig 11009

The ICMP echo request failed because the packet containing the request is larger than the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of a node (router or gateway) located between the source and destination. The MTU defines the maximum size of a transmittable packet.
ParameterProblem ParameterProblem ParameterProblem ParameterProblem 11015

The ICMP echo request failed because a node (router or gateway) encountered problems while processing the packet header. This is the status if, for example, the header contains invalid field data or an unrecognized option.
SourceQuench SourceQuench SourceQuench SourceQuench 11016

The ICMP echo request failed because the packet was discarded. This occurs when the source computer's output queue has insufficient storage space, or when packets arrive at the destination too quickly to be processed.
Success Success Success Success 0

The ICMP echo request succeeded; an ICMP echo reply was received. When you get this status code, the other PingReply properties contain valid data.
TimedOut TimedOut TimedOut TimedOut 11010

The ICMP echo Reply was not received within the allotted time. The default time allowed for replies is 5 seconds. You can change this value using the Send or SendAsync methods that take a timeout parameter.
TimeExceeded TimeExceeded TimeExceeded TimeExceeded 11041

The ICMP echo request failed because its Time to Live (TTL) value reached zero, causing the forwarding node (router or gateway) to discard the packet.
TtlExpired TtlExpired TtlExpired TtlExpired 11013

The ICMP echo request failed because its Time to Live (TTL) value reached zero, causing the forwarding node (router or gateway) to discard the packet.
TtlReassemblyTimeExceeded TtlReassemblyTimeExceeded TtlReassemblyTimeExceeded TtlReassemblyTimeExceeded 11014

The ICMP echo request failed because the packet was divided into fragments for transmission and all of the fragments were not received within the time allotted for reassembly. RFC 2460 specifies 60 seconds as the time limit within which all packet fragments must be received.
Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown -1

The ICMP echo request failed for an unknown reason.
UnrecognizedNextHeader UnrecognizedNextHeader UnrecognizedNextHeader UnrecognizedNextHeader 11043

The ICMP echo request failed because the Next Header field does not contain a recognized value. The Next Header field indicates the extension header type (if present) or the protocol above the IP layer, for example, TCP or UDP.

Examples

The following code example sends an ICMP echo message and checks the status. 

#using <System.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Net;
using namespace System::Net::NetworkInformation;
using namespace System::Text;

// args[1] can be an IPaddress or host name.
int main()
{
   array<String^>^args = Environment::GetCommandLineArgs();
   
   Ping ^ pingSender = gcnew Ping;
   PingOptions ^ options = gcnew PingOptions;
   
   // Use the default Ttl value which is 128,
   // but change the fragmentation behavior.
   options->DontFragment = true;
   
   // Create a buffer of 32 bytes of data to be transmitted.
   String^ data = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
   array<Byte>^buffer = Encoding::ASCII->GetBytes( data );
   int timeout = 120;
   PingReply ^ reply = pingSender->Send( args[ 1 ], timeout, buffer, options );
   
   if ( reply->Status == IPStatus::Success )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Address: {0}", reply->Address->ToString() );
      Console::WriteLine( "RoundTrip time: {0}", reply->RoundtripTime );
      Console::WriteLine( "Time to live: {0}", reply->Options->Ttl );
      Console::WriteLine( "Don't fragment: {0}", reply->Options->DontFragment );
      Console::WriteLine( "Buffer size: {0}", reply->Buffer->Length );
   }

   
}


using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.NetworkInformation;
using System.Text;

namespace Examples.System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingTest
{
    public class PingExample
    {
        // args[0] can be an IPaddress or host name.
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            Ping pingSender = new Ping ();
            PingOptions options = new PingOptions ();

            // Use the default Ttl value which is 128,
            // but change the fragmentation behavior.
            options.DontFragment = true;

            // Create a buffer of 32 bytes of data to be transmitted.
            string data = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
            byte[] buffer = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes (data);
            int timeout = 120;
            PingReply reply = pingSender.Send (args[0], timeout, buffer, options);
            if (reply.Status == IPStatus.Success)
            {
                Console.WriteLine ("Address: {0}", reply.Address.ToString ());
                Console.WriteLine ("RoundTrip time: {0}", reply.RoundtripTime);
                Console.WriteLine ("Time to live: {0}", reply.Options.Ttl);
                Console.WriteLine ("Don't fragment: {0}", reply.Options.DontFragment);
                Console.WriteLine ("Buffer size: {0}", reply.Buffer.Length);
            }
        }
    }
}

Remarks

The Ping class uses the values in this enumeration to set the PingReply.Status property. The Ping class returns PingReply objects when you call the Ping.Send or Ping.SendAsync methods to check whether you can reach a computer across the network.

Warning

The DestinationProhibited and DestinationProtocolUnreachable enumeration values have the same numeric value. This is possible because DestinationProhibited applies only to IPv6 and DestinationProtocolUnreachable applies only to IPv4.
