You could just use the System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping class.

    public static int GetPing(string ip, int timeout)
    {
        int p = -1;
        using (Ping ping = new Ping())
        {
                PingReply reply = ping.Send(_ip, timeout);
                if (reply != null)
                    if (reply.Status == IPStatus.Success)
                        p = Convert.ToInt32(reply.RoundtripTime);
        }
        return p;
    }
