Get An External Computer's Computer Name In Program?
May 2, 2012
This would be easier if I were able to have the external computer get its own name and just pass it to a web service as a variable, but I'm not able to do that right now. There are a variable number of computers from several different entities that regurarly access a web service on one of our servers. Changing only some VB.Net code on the server and nothing at all on any of those external computers, how would I be able to get their names programmatically in VB.Net?

i am making a program that saves and loads simple RTF files from my computer to others, i am woundering how to do this. The thing i was worried about was the seccurity but i think i have it now, im using a program called Hamachi that gives you a IP through them that links to ur computer w/o accually giving out your IP. So is there anyway that i can do this? here is what i have now:
If EmailTxt.Text = "" Or PassTxt.Text = "" Then
StatusText.Text = "You cannot leave anything blank!"
ElseIf Directory.Exists("C:MJA" + EmailTxt.Text) = True Then

i have a task to create a TCP Server (a program that is listening on its network card interfaces for incoming data stream).I have search on the internet and i found that i can use two methods : Socket or TCPListener class.I have created an example for Socket class, but i wondering how could i test it? I need to check that if another computer in the network send some string data to the listener computer , then this message should be displayed.Here is the example from microsoft that i am using for TCP Server using Socket:
Public Shared Sub Main()
' Data buffer for incoming data.
Dim data = nothingc[code]....
But it does not work because of the PORT setting.If in the TCP Server i have "Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)" the client crashes, but if i change the port from any (0) to 11000 for example,the client works fine.Do you know why?
Later edit2:Maybe i should have started with this question:Which method is recommended for my scope?asynchronous or synchronous method ?

I am developing a computer application designed to monitor the network and CPU statistics on a computer remotely. The monitored computer would have my program installed and the monitoring computer would display, in a form, the information being sent from the remote client.The application does not send any information regarding packets, user names, passwords, etc. It is solely meant for monitoring CPU performance and Network resources remotely.
What would be the best method to send this information over to my host machine?I am programing in Visual Studio 2008 on windows XP. The client machine is also XP. I know this sounds a little shady, but it is required for my little business (http://www.iquorum.net) to monitor what and when something happens on our machines when I and my employees are away.

I have a desktop computer with a cable connection on the back that allows me to watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center. I had the idea of writing a program that would access this feed and send it to another computer (laptop) via my network. That way I would be able to watch TV from anywhere that my network spans. I have no idea if this is possible or how I would even do it,
So I have three questions.
1: Is it possible?
2: How would I go about access the feed?
3: How would I send it over the network?
My original thought was doing it in Flash, but I'm not very good at Flash so I wanted to do it in VB.Net.

We have an VB.NET VS 2005 application that goes out and connects to remote computers on the network to gather information about the running services, processes, etc.
However, not all of the computers and servers are Windows boxes, and this is causing us some grief.
Is there a way in VB .NET to determine if a computer is running a Windows OS before trying to make a connection to it?

I'm trying to develop a windows application where i can get connected to remote server and look for process state going in remote server.We have many remote servers where automatic installation of software going on. We have an xml file(installstatus.xml) where it tells us at what stage the installation is (Example : Inprogress , Completed, Failed.)
So our aim is to develop a windows application where i can get connected to that servers and look for their installation status(may be we can use installstatus.xml to look for installation status). Every time i connect to a server, the server information should get stored in XML file(i want to create a xml file where all the servers list i connect to should get stored)
The UI at left side should will have list of servers i can connect to. When i get connected to server, at right side of UI, i want to display the status of installation (In progress, failed , completed).

I am moving from vb6 to vs2010. I installed vs2010 but no vb program, even the simplest will run. As soon as I load a solution either vshost32.exe or vshost32-clr.exe will shut down.If I create a vb application, even with just a form, a button, it will not run but will exit with the following.
'WindowsApplication1.exe' (Managed (v2.0.50727)): Loaded 'C:WINDOWSassemblyGAC_32mscorlib2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089mscorlib.dll'
The program '[3000] WindowsApplication1.exe: Managed (v2.0.50727)' has exited with code -2146233082 (0x80131506).
If I create an exe it will run on other computers but not mine, exe's that are created on other computers will run there but not on mine, so it doesn't seem to be a vs2010 problem but something else. I removed and reinstalled .net framework, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 but that didn't help either. Since exe's that I create will run on other computers but not mine, I suspect it's .net framework but other than uninstalling and reinstalling it, I have no idea what to check.

I would like to copy my program to my new computer. How can I do this? I tried copying the folder from my old computer to my new one and it opened the project, but I could not edit it as there was no permission given to edit it. It shows it as a read-only.
