How To Detect Computer Network Connection Status

Jun 8, 2011

I have a problem when trying to detect the computers network connection status.

Here is the code I have used:
Dim IsAvalible As String = My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable
If IsAvalible = True Then Label1.Text = "Connected" Else <code>
<code>If IsAvalible = False Then</code> I <code>
Label1.Text = "Disconnected"</code></code>
End If [/ICODE] End If[/ICODE]

But for some even when the network is disconnected or the computers wifi is turned on I still get the result of "Connected". I think there something wrong with the code.

Sockets - Check That If Another Computer In The Network Send Some String Data To The Listener Computer?

Mar 19, 2012

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 tried the Ping() call out of a small console application under Windows 7 and it works just fine.

Developing A Computer Application Designed To Monitor The Network And CPU Statistics On A Computer?

Jan 29, 2009

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.

Connect To Remote Computer And Display The Status Of Process Running On Remote Computer?

Dec 27, 2009

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).

Detecting Network Synchronisation Status?

May 28, 2009

I have designed a website using ASP (Visual Basic) which our staff use both interally and externally (i.e. on and off our network). Browsing network folders is available to the user when using the site on the network. However, if the user has a laptop which has not synchronised with the server, network folders set for synchronisation appear empty when they are not.

I understand the reasons for this, however I would like to be able to present the users with a friendly warning if they have not synchronised their laptop. Is there some sort of system flag I can access which will tell me whether a given laptop client has synchronised with the network or not (the same trigger which makes the Synchronisation Manager icon appear on the task bar)?

VB - Desktop Computer With Cable Connection On Back Allows To Watch TV On Computer Using Windows Media Center

Jun 12, 2010

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.

.net - Live Monitoring Of Network Connectivity Status?

Jul 26, 2010

A new client has recently asked me to develop a Windows service that will monitor whether or not his server has internet connectivity. The service should log when the connection goes down to Local Only and back up to Internet Access as shown in Network and Sharing Center.

My original idea was to have the service ping a website like google every 5 minutes or so, but I don't know how to retrieve the results of the ping, so I then thought I could code a WebBrowser control into it and write the log entries based on the results of connection attempts from that.

This also seems like a rather impractical idea though, so can anyone suggest the best way to go about this?

VS 2008 Developing A Network / Server Ping Status App

Jan 3, 2010

I work as an IT Administrator and manage a few Servers, Routers, VPN Connections over a number if locations. What I am wanting to do is create a vb.net app that will go out and ping say every 2-5mins each of the servers, routers, that are listed and then shows beside the Hostname a Green Circle which means online and if its a Red Circle its offline, and the screen refreshes if their is a problem or a device / service comes back online.

Then if its offline email a particular email address showing the hostname of either the server or router and which location saying its offline. If possible to make it easier to change the devices to show possible have a txt file or something like that with the Hostname, IP Address, Location.

MySQL Connector - How To Keep Connection Open With Status

Apr 25, 2010

I am developing an application with VB using the MySQL Connector Net [URL]. Now each time I go to load data in to a datagridview or in to text boxes on a form, I have to provide something along the lines of:

Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click
'Create connection to MySQL Database
Dim conn As New MySqlConnection
Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand
conn.ConnectionString = MySQLGlobal
[Code] .....

I think it would be better to leave the connection open to the MySQL database while the application is in use. That way I can just continue to execute queries of inserting and updating, without having the delay of the application having to reconnect. Is there a way where I can create some sort of background task in the application that monitors every few seconds that the connection is still active, and if not it tries to reconnect until its reconnected? I am trying to have it so that then I can code it to just do queries, and when the connection breaks - it disables the form until it is reconnected.

VS 2008 System.Net.Socket Connection Status?

Dec 8, 2009

im trying to detect if the connection is still active upon trying to send or receive anything. Now I have checks in place if it's connected then it will send or receive however... it's saying it's connected when it is not connected... and therefore my program tries to send and receive and errors.

I am determining if it is ok to send and receive by using the Socket.Poll(-1, SelectMode.SelectWrite)

if it's true then im connected and data can be passed..This seems to always be true until I send something and it fails..How can I catch the socket not being connected before it fails upon sending or receiving?

Comparison To A File On A Different Computer On The Same Network

Jan 4, 2012

I have a computer that takes in a barcode through a Visual Basic program on one computer and I want to be able to compare that barcode as a String to data on a different computer on the same network by ethernet connection where the data is stored in an Excel 2010 file (.xlsm) in Column A in a workbook called 'Data.xlsm'. Before the data is allowed to be saved or used further in the program on the first computer, I would like for the comparison to happen.

Some more details that you all may or may not need.

Computer 1 (where barcode is scanned): Windows 7, Office 2010

Computer 2 (where data file is stored): Windows XP, Office 2007
