please help me any ideas
    

If your goal is to test connectivity, you might look at the perl
Net::Ping module.  ``perldoc Net::Ping'' has several examples of
checking one or more systems to see if they are alive.

BTW:  Anybody know of a python equivalent to this?

Hello,

I have done something before with nmap -sP <target> time ago. Later you can grep the response to know whether an IP address is alive or not.

Hope it helps,
