Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
I think if you want to perform a Ping operation on a Mac you'll need to do get the value via an Applescript and turn that value over to your VBA code. Mac OS X is really a front end for UNIX, which you can access programmatically.

See this article for getting AppleScript to perform UNIX operarations:
New Unix Applescript commands - Mac OS X Hints

See this article for getting a Ping in UNIX
Linux and Unix ping command help and examples

See this page for instructions on how to get variables from AppleScript into VBA
