Nejat's code didn't work for me neither. Maybe it's Windows specific (tested on Windows 7 x64 + Qt 5.6). Ping command seems to distinct parameters and values and needs them to be passed apart when creating QProcess.

So instead of passing "-n 1" in one go, you'll need to pass "-n" and "1" separately.

Basically, with Nejat's code it would be:

int exitCode = QProcess::execute("ping", QStringList()
                                     << "-n" << "1"
                                     << m_sHostName);
if (exitCode==0) {
    // it's alive
} else {
    // it's dead
}

Tested and working now.
