I'd rather have this embedded into the dashboard instead of having to run a separate application. Thanks.

I really didn't think anyone would be that interested, but I've added the Source to the White paper. Hoepfully, since you've asked for it, you'll take the time to download, unzip, and view the program.

The latest dashboard (Update 2.0) already includes the code to check your local IP to ensure that it will receive robot data.

I personally don't think that the other ping statuses belong on the dashboard.
Pinger is really only needed to get up and running. Once your network is properly setup, it's not needed anymore. On the other hand, the dashboard is really needed to test your robot functions, and will be constantly changing as you develop your code. Having the extra overhead of all that pinging will just slow it down.

Feel free to add it, but I really think it's best used as a stand-alone program
