I was trying to rewrite this program so that it asks for the IP address to ping but have not had any luck. Can you help me out? I am new to programming and Ruby is the first language I'm studying. Thanks!
I changed line 3 to: @icmp = Net::Ping::ICMP.new(ARGV[0]) and now I can type, "ruby ping.rb 8.8.8.8" and it will ping 8.8.8.8 or whatever URL or IP address you type in. I wanted to actually use get.chomp with an "Enter the IP address or URL" dialog, but this works for now.
I took some inspiration from this and made some adjustments for my own purposes. Hopefully it's helpful.

@john916, you're probably looking for
print "Hostname: "
host = STDIN.gets.chomp
Having same issue @johngrindal described: the duration function not working. Does anyone know why? I'm on Windows.
Ok I figured it out: I was calling @my_ping.duration before actually executing the ping with @my_ping.ping 😁
the duration function is not working for me, any ideas why
