public class HostLabel
extends Label
implements Runnable
This subclass of java.awt.Label provides a label which initially displays the IP address of the supplied InetAddress object and then launches a thread to look up the name of the host and to attempt to "ping" that host by connecting to the WWW port (port 80). The label automatically colour-codes itself depending on the status and known information: yellow whilst looking up host name. cyan whilst attempting to ping. green if pinged ok. red if ping failed.
