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.
[SNIP] Makes no difference at all. The hostIsLocal command will take 3 seconds to fail when it's not local and I'm no better off.
Why is a 3 second delay a problem?
Because I get fed up waiting! :-) It's not a disaster by any means, just annoying.
