I'm using the details on connecting to a server from a client here: [URL]
It's quite out dated but I just need it for a quick project. I need the client to auto-connect. This program will be running on the LAN only, is there a way to find on what computer the server is running on (i.e. all computers hosting the specific server on port x). I've seen it on a couple of games that run on LAN. Without access to the internet, they manage to display all available games on the local LAN. I'm doing this with VB.net.
I am trying to remotely connect to servers on a network. However, an exception occurs and I can never connect. The code I am using to connect to the servers does work because I have had someone else test it. The exception is shown below. Is this a setting with VB or with my computer?
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was caught ErrorCode=-2147220308 HelpLink="C:Program FilesPIPCPISDK..Helppisdk.chm" Message="The specified time is invalid "
I want to build a search program that searches for a key word over any local networks the computer workstation has assess to like the search for files and folder function on any standard windows computer but with added feature it will also search across the networks servers its connected to?
My app is a fairly simple and im sure with the right knowledge this would take 2 minutes.. but sadly iv been at it for hours. So my scenario here is a huge network with 20+ file servers all with data spread out across them it can take hours to find the folder required.
Hence this app.. so it consist of a input box, progress bar and a button, using FileSystemObject I plan to interrogate a directory to see if a folder exists (folder specified by user input) however it need to check multiple directories, in my old app I used a list box which wrote to a text file allowing the user to add additional directories then using if statements proceeded through the servers.. however they have added that much that my IF's have ran out really because i know it should have been a loop

I don't really know how to code but am pretty good at tweaking. I'm trying to set up a script that I can run to delete a single file, multiple files, a folder or multiple folders on a list of servers.I was thinking that the script could read the files to be deleted from a .txt file and apply the deletion to a list of servers in another .txt file.Example:
FilesToBeDeleted.txt: \(insert_server_name_from_list)c$Program FilesBINexample_file.rpt or
Here is my idea so far: I have a bunch of computers connected in a local network. One of them is a MySQL server, one will have a vb.NET program wich will act as a "second server" and the rest will be different clients. What I want to do is that the "second server" will send out some kind of message or network package to some of the clients in the network, and they will execute a code based on what message it is, or what kind of package it is. I'll give you a simple example:
I have a .NET 2.0 *.dll that calls My.Computer.Network.Ping(). The *.dll is then run out of an *.exe via AppDomain.CreateDomain() and Invoke(). The problem is that this works just fine under Windows XP but under Windows 7, I get an exception saying that no network connection is available. I tried the Ping() call out of a small console application under Windows 7 and it works just fine.
I am using the following code to get the Disk I/O on various servers. For now I am just retrieving the DiskReadsPerSec to get a feel for it. The return data gives a uint32 for each drive on the server and a total. My questions is what is the time frame that this represents? Is this at the second that my code polls the drive or is this over the last few seconds or do I need to do multiple runs to get an average.
My intention is to build a graph for each drive so I wonder how often I need to poll the drive to get a acurate value.

i am trying to connect to 10 mysql servers and get aprox. 5000 rows. If i make the test from local network it works but if i take the test using mysql servers (same version) from different city it shows me the error "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding".[code]
I designed an app that basically gets paths to servers I have admin rights to, I am doing such things such as checking available space on the servers etc., the problem I am having is my app only works if I manually login via something like (start, run, \server) and supply my admin username and password just to store that authentication.How do I code this so it prompts the user in my program ONE time for all 5 servers (they all use the same username and password)
A little background, the client that I am working with has an enterprise AD that is a mess. They have no containers for servers or any organization what-so-ever. They also shutdown servers and did not remove them properly from AD. So I needed to come up with a program that would find all the windows server, identify them by OS, and then check to see if they would actually respond to a ping. (I am aware that this is not a perfect method if they are refusing ICMP's but its good enough for my purposes). The completion of the program will display all the information and then allow the user to save the excel workbook in a location that they choose.

As the title describes I am looking for a way to query for the UTC time from NTP/SNTP Servers from 'VB.NET'The only libraries I have found for VB.NET to such tasks appear require a fairly large sum of different forms of currency.
The title of this thread perhaps does not explain my problem correctly.Actually i am developing a financial software for a company.The software is similar to a banking system. The software is being developed using VB 2008 and SQL Server 2008.The company has its branches located at different locations. They are having a centralized SQL Server at their Head Office.The branches are connected to Head Office using a VPN.Now what we are worried about is when the VPN gets disconnected.For that we will be having a SQL server installed at each of the branches.When VPN is connected the the details entered will be directly at the Head Office database,Meanwhile a program will be executed which will get details from the Head Office database at each of the branches in a XML file.When a branch gets disconnected from the VPN another program will get the XML details into the Sql Server installed at the branch. When the branch is connected again Another application will create a xml file from the local server and insert its details into the HO server.The sizes of the XML are reaching upto around 150 to 200 mb. I am using Dataset.WriteXML and Dataset.ReadXMl. I have tested this on my local machine it is taking upto 30-40 secs.I dont know how much it will take when the actual application is installed. How can i speed things up ? Does anyone have any idea on how i can do the whole process more smoothly and faster?
I have the following code which connects to my webservice online:
Dim c As New com.*********.checkLicense() c.CookieContainer = New System.Net.CookieContainer() c.setApplicationGuid("e3b59b3d-4150-4cb0-adda-f5db004f362f")

Now what I need to know is, if a user has proxy settings configured in IE, will this code automatically use the proxy?Also what happens when said proxy needs authentication?Anyone know how this can be adapted. I know about the System.Net.WebProxy class, however I would really need this to pick up the settings from IE by default and then if required (and only if required) pop up for proxy authentication.
I am writing some code as part of a framework for opening a file.The file is of custom type and should not be opened by more than one instance of my application. To stop multiple file opening I use a filestream to create a lock file and then keep said filestream open. This seems to work in preventing another instance of my application from opening the file ( as it will fail in recreating the lock stream in the files open code ) but if the file is on a network share and the network drops then the original application also can not access the file any more.The code to get the lock stream is as follows:
Try ' We need to keep this stream alive to prevent other applications gaining access to the lock mLockStream = New FileStream(mLockPath, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)[code]....
In this I create the lock stream the first time round and then if another application tries to create it, it throws an exception and stops them from getting any further. This is kind of how it needs to work, unfortunately as I said, if this is done across a network and then the network connection is dropped for some reason then I can not delete the lock stream as I get an IOException telling me a process cannot access the file as it is open in another process ( which shouldn't be happening I don't think).
Im trying to check multiple services on different servers. The idea is that every time a client clicks on a checkbox for the specific server and press the "check service" button it will check the status on the service and if it's not running it will restart the service and so on for the rest of the servers.[code]
I was assigned a project to create a program of cloning two file servers. It will copy all folders (about 500, one day one folder, there are about 200 files in each day) from one file server (S1) to another file server (S2). If any error occurred while in processing, program will send an email to someone.
I am trying to merge 2 datasets from 2 different servers, SQl 2005. I need to take 2 fields from one table and five from another to create one merged dataset and bind it to a datagrid, in an 2008 ASP.net application. The first table I will be saving to is empty just the table schema is there, The second table that the datagrid is populated by, has two columns containing dropdown box and a text field for user to edit these fields, these will be saved into the first table along with the user information, and a time stamp, but when a user pulls this information again the changes in the datagrid will reflect these changes.
I have a DotNet 3.5 Winforms app. Mature app working well. It is a desktop client side application. One of the forms I've recently modified to include a picturebox which shows a standard gif animation.Running the application(and displaying the form with the picture box) works as expected on on Win XP + Win 7. i.e. the gif animation plays.
However running the same application on Windows 2003 or Windows 2008, I get the form loading but not animation in the picturebox, just static image.At first I thought it was because I was accessing the server via Remote Desktop but I did the same with XP, yet that still had the gif animating. Oh and I can play a gif using Internet Explorer on the servers.
I am trying to reset IIS on a set of servers all at one time instead of looping through and resetting each one individually, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.[code]...
I've got a small utility I use to communicate with Yahoo's APIs. Their servers return all the responses in JSON. Is there an easy way to parse this into its base form when you don't necessarily know what will be in the response?
I want to display a dialog that has 2 dropdown combo's. The first combo display a list of the available SqlServer servers. The second combo displays the list of available database once the user has selected a server. how to populate the combo's?
