IP reachability?

Hi All,

I want to check the reachability of an IP, i.e. whether the particular IP exists such that it can be contacted.In JDK 5.0, it is possible to use isReachable() method of InetAddress class, but as i m using JDK 1.4, i don't find any such methods. any idea to cmoe around this problem?

Thanks in advance
