Is it possible in a BAT file to perform a ping, and then - if the ping times out perform additional commands - else do nothing ?

How abou this:
@echo off for /f "delims=." %%I in ('ping -n 1 www.ebay.com') do if "%%I"=="Request timed out" (echo Hello)
Replace www.ebay.com with whatever you want to check

It doesnt seem to work. I put in a fake URL in my hosts, so I know it will time out because it cannot be reached. However nothing happens when running the script.

well for me, www.ebay.com also times out, and the command at the end which is "echo hello" is executed,
check your url direcly with ping and check if it results exactly in : "Request timed out."
and if u r checking it from the command line and not from a batch file don't forget "%%I" should be "%I"
