You've illustrated my problem perfectly! That 3 seconds delay is the same delay I see using my original ping method.
I need to find out, fast, if 192.168.0.104 isn't on the LAN I'm connected to. To do this I have to run your second case above which takes, like my ping, 3 seconds to execute.
WTF do you need to find out in 3 seconds? Will the world end if it takes longer?
