You cannot ping a service. There is no such concept. "Ping" has some strict meaning: it is a separate service implementing a special protocol (ICMP) and a utility for pinging:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Control_Message_Protocol[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_%28networking_utility%29[^].

So, you can only pick the system itself if it implements the protocol ICMP (normally, it should). You can ping using the class System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping:
