Try this:
code:
Break on 
$Null=""
$sIPAddress="ipaddress"
While "true"
 Shell "%comspec% /C ping -n 1 ipaddress"
 If @ERROR=0
  $Null=MessageBox("IP Address" + $sIPAddress + " is responding!", "Your box title")
  PLAY "v:\asterix.wav"
  Exit 0
 EndIf
 Sleep(60)
Loop
Not sure how you'd like to implement this... Multiple nodes to check - change the kix manually each time???

May we know what you're doing???
