I want to present a pop up message based on the outcome of a ping comannd, how ever regardless of whether the ping fails or passes the ping was successful message is executed:
start "Checking your PC is on the network- ...."%host% ping localhost |find "TTL=">nul && (msg "%username%": Ping to Local Host Failed) || (msg "%username%" Ping to Local host Succesful)
start "Checking Gateway for computer - ..."%host% ping 10.89.24.1 -t -a -n 5 |find "TTL=">nul && (msg "%username%": Ping to Gatewway Failed) || (msg "%username%" Ping to Gateway Succesful)
start "Checking Apex Server for computer -...."%host% ping 193.120.187.44 -t -a -n 5 |find "TTL=">nul && (msg "%username%": Ping to Apex Server Failed) || (msg "%username%" Ping to Apex Server Succesful)
start "Checking Intranet Connection- ...."%host% ping 10.89.208.9 -t -a -n 5 |find "TTL=">nul && (msg "%username%": Ping to Intranet Failed) || (msg "%username%" Ping to Intranet Successful)
EDIT Have updated code- however the if errorlevel 0 condition executes regardless of whether the ping is successful or not, I think this may be because the ping command executes successfully so the errorLevel = 0, regardless of the outcome i.e. TTL
