Communications :: Getting Local IP Address In Vista
Jul 14, 2008
I'm running into a problem with this code:
[Code]...
The problem is that I'm running on Windows Vista and the above code seems to want to return the IP V6 information and not the V4 information. How can I force it to return the V4 information?
Using the Socket raw, with XP I can read without problems both the incoming packets and the outgoing packets. With Vista (I have tried also others Sniffers) is impossible to see the outgoing packets...WHY? what I have to do to see alse the outgoing packets? In reality I have not to read packet data or packet lenght... I need only to count the number of incoming packets and outgoing packets... but with Vista this job seems impossible... or not?
Is there any easy way to determine the IP address for the computer that an app is running on. I looked through the System.Net namespace and didn't see anything of the sort.
Basically, I want to display the IP address to the user, instead of walking them through how to do an "ipconfig". They then can put that IP address into another app, so the one app can talk to the other via UDP.
I am trying to make a simple port scanner to scan a rang of IP's so like 192.168.4.245 to 192.168.5.100. I am using Visual Basic.Net 2010 and am having trouble converting the IP from a String to a Long so that I can increment it and convert it back to a String. For some reason VB.Net 2010 doesn't include the winsock controller and therefore I am having problems finding a method that works similar to inet_addr() which makes conversion much easier. I found an example on one of the forms here
Code: Private Sub Command1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Command1.Click

I have a small embedded web server and to setup its network parameters I use a serial port, however this is giving me a lot of trouble due to USB to serial adapters (in some computers work in other doesn't).
However the other day I saw that Buffalo has a little program to find their NAS boxes (or network drives) when you don't know their IP address or got the wrong one so I assume they do it by looking for mac addresses.Is there any way of doing this with VB 2005 or higher? Basically I don't know the IP of the embedded server so I need to find it on a network, how do I find it?
a) I could do a general IP scan assuming it is on the same subnet than the host computer b) if it has a different subnet... a general IP scan is not going to work, is it?
Anyone know why, Every time I try calling something with this PhysicalAddress it says Null Exception, and the debug always displays nothing inside the Var's, Is this a bug or something? Im using Framework 2.0 >:O
