I whould like to find the IP address of a game server that sends UDP packets to my PC. Of this server I know the fixed Port number, but not the IP address
I can read the netstat -anp udp data and store them in a text file... but this command don't displais the IP Address and the Port number of the external servers, only lots of asterisks
the question is: how to retrieve this IP address?
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?
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

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?
I am trying to write a quick utility that will find out if a Windows XP computer is set to Static or DHCP and write a log file c:computername_static.log or c:computername_dhcp.log.

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

View 1 Repliesi've looked up several tutorials on what i should do to create a collision detection, but im not too positive on how to function my ideas and convert them to code.Basically, i'm creating a space invaders like-game that is 2D Mario-themed (sprites used).I am using a panel for my enemies and Mario is being controlled by the movement of arrow keys and space button shoots.The problem is I can not make my bullets collide with the enemies to make them disappear. This piece of code is what i've got so far with the collision detection :
Code:
'*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
' Collision occurs whenever the pctShoot(podoboo) hits any of the enemy
' When blnTrue, both pctShoot and the enemy disappear
[code].....
While I'm at it, i have another question in concern; but this is not really related to collision but:How do you make an object move down automatically using a timer but make it appear randomly?Like any space invader game, the enemies are shooting back at the hero to make it appear more challenging right?(using Visual Basic 2008)

View 1 RepliesI am using VB10 Pro. I am trying to add an MSComm to a project. I have tried to follow this example: [URL] which utilizes VB6 but cannot. Instead I right clicked the mailbox, selected Choose Items, but could not find Microsoft Comm Control 6.0 in any of the tabs. After doing a search I found another example.
From that one you go Project | Add Reference | COM.
But again Microsoft Comm Control 6.0 does not show up in the list. Where is MSCOMM? Doing some further research, I do not have mscomm32.ocx in my C:WindowsSystem directory.

The &H30D? i know its a hexadecimal value and may represent a message but i cant find anything about why someone would need to use one, and not just "As Integer = 703". I've found nothing in the VB.NET library or windows messages/functions docs.
For my next project i'll have to create a TCP or UDP server based application. I know how to program a server but i am interested on the limitations of such servers.
how many connections a server may be able to handle at the same time. I suspect that this limitation is based on the type of transfer and how much data or how often it is send to the server.
I also read somewhere that a windows program is limited to 25 threads (connections) per core so if i would have a quad core i can have a maximum of 99 connections granted that the server itself is also a thread. Is that correct?
If the above is correct i wonder how to handle let's say 200 users at the same time. There must be some form / way to handle bigger request loads.
We have a server in the building that we can poll for barometric pressure using TCP. Another developer uses LabVIEW to do this, so it may be a little more straightforward for him.
Here are the instructions:[CODE...]
I have a real time application (by real time I mean physiological SLOW data) not ultra-fast gaming... and I would like to serve the parameters I read to an FTP server (website) so that the data can be reviewed remotely.
I have seen a few tools out there that will do the trick, but was wondering if anybody here has experience with this, and what path(s) you recommend I take to do this in the simplest of fashions.
I'm setting up a basic TCP client/server system and I'm wondering how the back-and-forth communication should ideally work. In my specific situation, the client will have to submit login credentials, and make specific requests from the server (the server interacts with a remote database).Here is what I would THINK to do.. and I'm just looking from input from other devs.
SERVER: Wait for new connections
CLIENT: Connects to server
CLIENT: Once connected, send login credentials with an instruction code.
[code]....
And another scenario.. let's say the client wants to request a log of what's happened on the server recently (the text of a console application window).
CLIENT: Send request message to server for recent log
i.e. $REQ$,105
SERVER: If instruction = $REQ$ and request id = 105, get window text and send to client
i.e. $DATA$,105,<data here>
CLIENT: If instruction = $DATA$ and data id = 105, parse data and display to user
The data being requested could be plain text, or a .net datatable translated into XML, etc. It could be a variety of things.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a sort of basic server thing and I cannot seem to get the thing to work properly. I have a client and a server. The client sends a string, the server receives then replies. I cannot get the server to continue responding.
It works in one direction Client -> Server
But because the server is continuously listening the form becomes not responding, thus I cannot send messages from the server. Although it says that its not responding I know that it is just using all of the processing for listening because when I send something from the client the server responds, just the form is stuck because of the listener.
I recently set up an apache server in a small computer (its an ALIX board) and i need to download some files that are going to be stored in that machine. The web server is running and I can create a file called "moo.txt" and if i go to the web browser I can see its contents Now, I need to create a vb.net application to communicate with this machine and download that file So far I have tried the following
Code:

Imports System.IO
