    Hello - I am trying to write a simple script that will ping an IP address.  If it is not successful, then it will run 2 commands.  See script below.  I need to know what I am doing wrong.  Thanks everyone!

    {
    If (-Not Test-Connection "192.168.1.1") 
    {
        Restart-NetAdapter -Name "Wi-Fi" #Requires -RunAsAdministrator
    }}
    If (-Not Test-Connection "192.168.1.1")
    {
        Restart-NetAdapter -Name "Wi-Fi2" #Requires -RunAsAdministrator
    }}

    You need to post the code correctly using the code posting tool provided and you need to post the complete error message.

    You also need to learn how to read the CmdLet help before asking a question and you need to learn basic PowerShell instead of guessing.

    if(!Test-Connection '192.168.1.1' -Quiet){
    Restart-NetAdapter -Name 'Wi-Fi' #Requires elevation
}

if(!Test-Connection '192.168.1.1' -Quiet){
     Restart-NetAdapter -Name 'Wi-Fi2' #Requires elevation
}

    Hope this helps 

     $MyComputers=Get-Content C:\temp\list.txt  

      
      Foreach($Computer in $MyComputers){
            #Ping test
            $Results=Test-Connection $Computer -Count 1 -ea 0

            if($Results){
                #Do Something
                Write-host "Ping Passed"
            }Else{
                #Show Ping Failure
                Write-host "Ping Failed"
            }

        } 

    Please code in the code posting tool provided.

    Look at my example above to learn both how to do this and how to post code in this forum.

    Thanks for the help.  I have worked on this for 16 hours, and nothing worked.  I had a feeling it was a simple syntax type of problem.  Not stupid, just not familiar with this language.  I tried all kinds of help resources and googling, and was not able to find anything that worked.  Will try this as soon as I can.

    Sorry to have bothered you.
