After running the script a few times, i've also noticed that the ping error doesn't seem to work. All i get are IE versions and invalid data. I know one or two of the machines that not online, and they should get a pc not online "error". But its just giving it them an invalid data "error".

I'll be looking over the script and tring to learn it in the mean time.

*update*
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but it seems to be pulling the ip address from DNS even if the machine is not online.
