Hello,does anybody know if it at all possible to contact the DHCP server from a VB.NET project with the aim of passing a computer name and it returning the MAC address (and last known IP address). The purpose is that the machine may be switched off which is why we need to go to DHCP Server.Basically need to know the Libraries to imports and get started.

View 2 RepliesI have a simple TCP Client/Server application that ties two pcs on a lan together. This has worked great for many job sites but the most recent has an IT manager that will not allow me to set a static ip address on the server pc.Basically, I was wondering if there was a nifty way to have the client find the server.

View 2 RepliesI am developing a windows application for my guys on helpdesk to use with our clients. It is going to be installed on the clients' pc's. One of it's purposes is to display all IP info of a computer. Such as the client's IP address, DNS IP address, DHCP IP address, and Default Gateway IP address, but I can only get it to give me the IP address of the host and no addresses of the DNS, DHCP, or Default Gateway. I know that I could run an ipconfig /all and pull the results into the application, but I would like to have it laid out more simply for it to be easier to read for the clients in case we are walking them through some troubleshooting over the phone and we need their IP information. I do not require and am not requesting any source code.
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to use the DHCP API (using the references on pinvoke.net) to retrieve a computer's MAC address when given the IP address but I can't get the code to work. I've run all the C# code on pinvoke.net through the C#-to-VB converter but I'm stuck now.
Here's what I have so far. The value of res is always 5 (should be 0). Thing is, I can't find any documentation on what the return codes mean

View 14 RepliesI have an application I have developed which works great on individual PC's. However I've had some interest from a few customers that asked if I have a network version for site licencing.If my app did not save any data or write any reg entries, this might have been ok. But it does to the local computer. I also built in my own copy protection and trial function that stores data in the registry on the local computer.What would I need to do to enable my application to run on a server/network share, so that the only a serial number needed is for the server?

I have a server which has around 300+ users on it. Though the problem is that its coded in VB6, and if somebody has a bad ping, everybody has a bad ping.

I have a client/server application set up that the client sends a word file to the server and then the server converts that word file to a .TIF and sends the image back.The stuff I have now works.Say if I sent the size of the file and the actual file byte() to the server back to back, would the NetworkStream contain both back to back? This what I though would happen. So I implemented a kind of 'turn' based interaction during the duration of the conversion process.

Case : I'm creating an application (desktop application) with VB.NET (actually windows form), and using SQL Server Express 2008 for its database.
[Code]...
I have developed a VB.NET program using a strongly typed dataset. This dataset has its connection to a SQL Server 2008 R2. The software should now be additionally used offline. The database should be exported to a *.sdf database. If no connection to the SQL server is produced, the software have to try to connect to the *.sdf database.I would like to achieve:
1. Export the data in the SQL Server 2008 R2 database to a local *.sdf file.
2. This *.sdf file has to work as an alternate connection string in the strongly typed dataset.

View 1 RepliesI wrote a VB code to call a sp in sql server 2005, which returns a recordset as follows:Dim objRecordset As ADODB.Recordset Set objComm = New ADODB.Command
Set objRecordset = objComm.Execute If Not objRecordset.BOF And Not objRecordset.EOF Then
Set objRecordset = objRecordset.NextRecordset I need to continue to get next recordset since there are many select statements inside the sp which I need to get the data. The code works fine when I create the DSN using SQL Server but it does not work when using the connection string or SQL Server Native Client DSN. It either breaks at Set objRecordset = objComm.Execute ( connection string )or at If Not objRecordset.BOF And Not objRecordset.EOF Then(SQL native client )
I have worked on this for a couple of days now and could not figure it out.Is this a bug in SQL Native Client or something related to some configuration on the database side? IS there a way I can change the connection property to get this working using SQL native client or connection string?

View 1 RepliesI made a simple TCP server (I've found the example on the web) in VB to receive data from about 40 TCP clients.The clients are not synchronized but sends data about every 18 minutes; the problem is sometimes several clients sends data at the same moment, so I can't receive data.I also made a second program that reads the data (server program writes data on a file, read from the second program) scheduled.
My question is this: I've seen on the web examples about Multithreaded Server Socket Program, so I suppose this could manage my 40 clients (but now the clients are syncronized and send data at the same time in client mode) or is better get data (I have a central client that asks data to all 40 devices in server mode)?
Second question: can I make a single program where I run both TCP client and TCP server at the same time?
I have several programs that I wrote in Visual Basic.net 2003 that I run from a server at work. We upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 recently and I converted my code to that version. I rebuilt the .exes and tried to run it from the server. It said I needed to upgrade the framework on the server, which I did. Now when I run the .exe file from the server I get a runtime error:
Runtime Error!
Program: d:...
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applicaiton's support team for more information.
These programs are very important to the day-to-day operations of the company I work for. I did backup the software before converting it, so we're running normally right now, but there are modifications and upgrades I need to make as soon as possible, but cannot due to the programs crashing when I run the on the server.
