# 1

boolean b = address.isReachable(3000)

testArea.setText(String.valueOf(b));

// textArea update or revalidate or whatever here

# 2

thanks but it gives me an error cannot find simple

final Timer timer = new Timer(2000, new ActionListener() {

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {

boolean b = address.isReachable(3000);

textArea.setText(String.valueOf(b));

}

});

in this line boolean b = address.isReachable(3000);

So what's the error?

Edit:

or by "cannot find simple" you mean "cannot find symbol"?

In which case, I reiterate what is the error exactly?

Oh come on, if you can't keep your own variables and their scope straight, there's not much we can do to help you.

my guess is that that method is not reachable. ;-)
