To check a remote server availability on the network using C#, you need to use the System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping class.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping pinger = new System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping();
        PingReply reply = pinger.Send("www.google.com");
        Console.WriteLine("Results from pinging " + reply.Address);
        Console.WriteLine("Fragmentation allowed?: {0}", !reply.Options.DontFragment);
        Console.WriteLine("Time to live: {0}", reply.Options.Ttl);
        Console.WriteLine("Roundtrip took: {0}", reply.RoundtripTime);
        Console.WriteLine("Status: {0}", reply.Status.ToString());

        Console.ReadKey();
    }

}

Output of the above program…
