Is remote machie alive

I'm using OpenRemoteSubkey method to get registry key in remote computer. I have list of computers in AD and use the list to get computer name but how can I find out if each computer is alive in the network now, cause if one computer is not turn on it will take a long time , the method throuwn exception that network path does not exists or in simple statement I wanna set timeout for this function.
