   I'd like to open a socket from visual studio ASP.NET environment in order to   
   check if an IBM database server is running. The port to be tested is 8471   
      
   That should be some sort of ping to a TCP port.   
      
   Any chunk of code written in Visual Basic to do so?   
      
      
   Thanks in advance.
