This is a function that gets the ping result for a certain client.
The function does only check if the client replies or not. if it replies, the current IP gets displayed.
Otherwise a “Offline” text will be displayed. This means the Hostname is offline or faulty.

The function takes a hostname as parameter and makes use of the System.Net.NetworkInformation to get the “ping” information.
