View 3 RepliesAs part of my application I am hoping to be able to get the user to enter their IP address and subnet mask which will then enumerate all of the hosts in between which can then be scanned for various open ports/applications installed.
For instance, With a network of 10.91.100.0/255.255.255.252 hosts are valid 10.91.100.1 - .2
How can this be done in vb.net? I would assume also some error checking would need to be put in place to confirm as to whether the subnet mask was valid as well?
Are there any IP Address filters or masks available in Windows Forms as per following screenshot? A backslash shouldn't be allowed or it should be filtered somehow.
View 1 RepliesI need to be able to get the current users LAN id using VB.NET and then use this info to pull out the phone number and full name and perhaps other dept info from the address book in outlook. The application I am building is web based in VS 2008, and the users will access the site once they have logged into the companies network. So I need to obtain their LAN ID. They will then be able to send an email using the smtp client. I need the email to send the lan ID of the person as well as include the address book info in the subject. how to use the smtp client.

View 2 RepliesHow can I set a host IP address and port.. and then detect if the port is open (accepting connections)or closed (denying connections)I came across this while searching, but it doesn't seem to function all that well..Using the port 80 and the host [URL] The result it gave me was closed... which is obviously wrong.So what can I do?Code: ( I have also imported "System.Net" and "System.Net.Sockets" )
Dim host As String = "www.google.com"
Dim port As Integer = 80
Dim addr As IPAddress = CType(Dns.GetHostAddresses(host)(0), IPAddress)

How can I convert a subnetmask into binary, so I'll end up with 32 digits? I can convert it into Binary, using Convert.ToString(Long-to-convert, 2). But a subnetmask of 255.255.255.0 returns(it returns it without the spaces though):
1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 0
When I want it to be:
1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 0000 0000

I need test data for a IP Subnet calculator I have developed. I have tested some obvious scenarios, and all seems good, but the person developing can often be the wrong person to test.
The calculator can do one of two things:
1 - Given an existing network and CIDR (mask), and a new CIDR it will create a number of networks with the appropriate number of hosts.
2 - Given an existing network and CIDR (mask), and a list of c,h, (c = count, h=number of hosts) it will create the networks.
I am trying to verify that I have a valid subnet mask. I have already verified that the string format 255.255.255.0 or whatever 255.255.240.0 converts to a UInt32 but now I need to make sure its actually a subnet mask.
The bits should be split between 1's for the network part and 0's for the host part. It should start with all 1's and end in all 0's if it goes from 1's to 0's then finds any more 1's its an invalid subnet mask.

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 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
vb

I 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
