Hi! I'm trying to write a small application for an online gaming site
(flight sims), where people can add their local server to a list.

Basically, I just need to be able to loop/ping each respective server
- via a specific port (2934 or 2935) to see whether the server is
still "live", so the hosters don't have to manually update their
status on the site.

Everything I've seen seems overly complex. Efforts so far have
returned info via a traditional PING, but I can't seem to find an easy
way of getting the required *port* info. The script would have to run
from a regular hosted site, so I wouldn't have much access to the
server's "innards".

Any ideas?

TIA - Adam.
