I know this has been asked many times before but it's a bit different in my situation.
"If errorlevel 1" does not work in my case
When I ping something like my router when my ethernet is unpluged than it won't return a "timeout" it will return a "general failure" the statement "if errorlevel 1" won't detect it so I'm getting a response saying that it's reachable when it's not and it won't detect the "general failure" as an error.
I was thinking maybe it's possible to make a line checking the response (in ascii) to check if it's "General Failure" but I wouldn't know how to do that either.
Is there a way to get past this problem or is this the limit of batch?
Try like this :
ping "www.whatever.com" && echo OK || echo Connection Problem
