View 3 RepliesI'm trying to disable/enable a NIC on my local machine.
Here is my code:
Dim
colAdapters As
New ManagementClass("Win32_NetworkAdapter")
[Code]...
it always returns with this error: Invalid methodparameters
I've been using Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration & Win32_NetworkAdapter to get my network adapter's name, manufacturer and other descriptions. Code used:
Dim networkdata As ManagementObjectSearcher
Dim network As New ManagementObject
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
networkdata = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapter")
For Each Me.network In networkdata.Get
Label40.Text = network("Name").ToString
Next
end sub
Is there a way to obtain the "default" network card that's being used by the OS (WinXP, WinVista and Win7)?I've been able to get all stats from all NICs (or just a particular NIC); however, I can't figure out how to identify the "default" network card or "default" network connection or the network connection that's being used to send/receive data.
View 1 RepliesBelow is my code which enables and disables all network cards in my PC.
It works fine but when I execute this code on a normal User Account, i get the exception " Unable to read beyond the end of the stream" .
Im also aware that as a normal user, one will not be able to enable and disable network cards. I tried changing the settings in gpedit.msc bt it still doesnt work.
How do I grant permission to the user so that he wud b able to disable and enable the network card using the code below?[code]...

View 3 Repliesmy first question on this board. I'm creating a media player(Like so many others). I try playing files over my network. When I pass this address "M:songssome artistsome song.mp3" to the windows media player control it actually opens "\ServerMEDIAsome artistsome song.mp3". But when my program checks if it is playing the correct song it thinks it is not, because the strings aren't equal. Is there a way in VB to get the network address of a mapped network drive? I can already see that it is a network drive but not wich address it points to.
View 2 RepliesI 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?
how i can go about getting basic network information such as the ip address gateway etc

View 9 RepliesIs it possible to capture the raw signal from a WiFi card in the same way you can capture the signal from a sound card? (I already found code for working with a sound card and for drawing spectrograms) I'm wondering because it would make a cool radio-type project. I'd prefer a solution that integerates well with .net (VB or C#).My basic goal is to capture the ambient radio waves and build a primative "telescope" of sorts. Using the built in computer hardware is just the easiest way to accomplish this. If you have any other suggestions about how to accomplish this goal in a different way please post it as an answer also.

View 3 RepliesHere 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:

View 1 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

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 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).
