How to use an External Library method ?

Hi Dolphin folks ! Congratulations on the new Dolphin 5.0 XP - it's
very cool ! I've been getting back into my very beginner level
smalltalk progamming and I would like to know what I need to do in
order to use the WinInetLibrary.
Specifically have created a button on a shell view that calls a method
that will do the following:
WinInetLibrary new ping:'www.microsoft'. Clicking on the button causes
a walkback.

It states:

WinInetLibrary(ExternalLibrary)>>invalidCall
WinInetLibrary>>internetCheckConnection:dwFlags:dwReserved:
WinInetLibrary>>ping:
PIngTool>>command
Symbol>>forwardTo:
CommandDescription>>performAgainst:
[] in Command>>value
BlockClosure>>ifCurtailed:
BlockClosure>>ensure:
Command>>value



What am I doing wrong ? Thanks !

WinInetLibrary default ping: 'http://www.microsoft.com/'

WinInetLibrary>>ping: requires an URL, not a hostname.

It works as expected from here.

Have you got a firewall that might be blocking the outgoing connection?. If
so you will need to tell it to allow traffic from Dolphin.exe.

You could also try pinging from a DOS prompt to see if that works.

Thanks by the help Ian.

I've tried in a private network and works, but with a dial-up connection to
a common ISP don't works.

I will call my ISP provider to ask about the firewall.

Thanks Again and Best Regards.
