View 3 RepliesPart of an application that I'm building searches the network that the current computer is connected to and returns a list of the IP & MAC addresses and the hostname. It is based largely on the post by richard__deeming at [URL] At the moment, it will only get the information about computers that are in the same workgroup, but I have several computers that need to be shown, that are joined to a domain rather than the workgroup. How can I get the program to find every computer on the network?

There are different files to be replaced for 32 and 64 bit systems. I have written a program to replace the file.if we give the target of the location (eg \drd001-dsk1C$Documents and SettingsAdministratorPlayerfilename where drd001-dsk1 is the computer name in the network) Is there any way to check if the system that i need to replace the file is 32 or 64 bit

View 2 RepliesI have an application that automatically updates addins for excel from the server to all the computers on our network. right now all i get is an error if excel is open, but what I want to be able to do is check if excel is open on each computer first and give the user a chance to save their current work then close excel. otherwise i cannot update their addins if excel is open.
View 3 RepliesHere is my Prob- we have a main router from which we use a distributor or hub for internet connection distribution, ever computer connected automatically obtains IP address of format say - 180.50.50.xxx to access net connection.if any connected computer has different IP format than the given one, it cannot access internet.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to write a program to ping computers on my network to see if they are turned on. So far i have the following:
Code:
If My.Computer.Network.Ping("192.68.0.5") Then
MsgBox("Computer is on.")
Else
MsgBox("Ping request timed out.")
End If
If i use ip addresses, this works fine but i would rather use hostnames due to the ip addresses being dynamic (something which is outside my control). Using the hostname, it reurns "Computer is on" if the ping is successful, but if the hostname cannot be found, instead on returning "Ping request timed out", an error occurs as follows:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingException' occurred in System.dll
I have recently finished a console application and deployed it to several computers on our network for testing. As it is just an EXE a copied to the hard drives of selected computers for now. When the app is launched it writes info to an sql DB so I always know which computers it is on.
During the past few weeks I have modified this app at least 6 times (improvements, adjustments, etc)
It is a paint to keep going back to the computers to update it with the new version, and getting mixed up which version i am on - LOL I am looking for advice on how I would go about doing this automatically, for example, it would be cool if I just had to put an updated file in a repositry and clients would use this to update.
In Visual Studio, when I view the properties of my application>assembly information - I can set a file version. Is it possible to extract this info and store it in a variable? I would like to dump the in my DB. Also I could then possibly compare the file version of the launched app against an updated file in a network share folder.
I have created a program that allows me to remotely access computers on my network (not all done by me i found some code online) however i want to modify that program to allow me to connect to computers not on my network. How can i go about doing this? My program consists of a client and a server. When the server runs it listens for the client on the client side i enter the IP address and it connects so i can send remote commands to the remote system.

I need to grab a list of all networked computers, and I definitely include systems on the wireless
network in that list. I'm just not sure how to approach this. Being able to enumerate through a
'tree' of all networks and systems available would be a major plus.
Im coding an application that needs to list all computers inside my LAN, and get the status of the machines ex. Power On, Power Off.. in order to Wake On Lan, or Turn it Off.. im using Visual Basic .Net.I all ready listed all machines, now i need to get the status of them..
View 5 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:

I've installed visual studio 2008.is the visual basic in that package known as VB.net? My 2nd question: how can i use scanner for scanning using VB.net?do i have to use WIA? or i can use the default program for scanning?
View 1 RepliesI have been messing around with the scanning packages(WIA and TWAIN) and have gotten WIA to work, but not as intended. At first I used the common dialog to show a Image Aquisition Wizard, but that did not return desired results. Next was twain, but st managed to find was the same C# program over and over and over again, "TwainGUI". A program written by NETMaster on codeproject.What I would like to do is scan from the ADF and save immediately to the users working directory. The problem is I can't get WIA to keep scanning until the ADF is empty.
Psudo Code:
Start:
"Set scan settings"

View 4 RepliesSo - we are FED UP with our medical records packaging (document imaging) system and want to create a simple filing interface for our scanners to use in VB. Part of this deal is getting VB to interact with a TWAIN Driver.
There is some code out there for ASP.NET and C# - does anyone know of a VB.Net based code I could look at?
I have spent part of my day trying to recreate the ASP into VB but the calls are just different enough to get interesting.
Is it possible to look for all current instances of a specified object without specifically IDing each instance as it's created?
View 12 RepliesI am making an application to scan with TWAIN. I can get to state 4 OK, and scan with the UI. But I need to hide the UI. When I do this the scanner does nothing. I believe it needs some capabilities set (like height and width). So I try to get the physical height and width so I can set them. Herein lies the problem. I get 18874402 back for the physical height and width. (neither can I get the units). I get RC=SUCCESS. I don't think it could be a signed/unsigned issue because what boundary is at 18 million +/- with whatever units? I tried some other code I found but that returns 0. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Here's the code:

So I got a request to update specific information on a thumb drive from my program. The idea is that the user does not have to select the drive. If you plug it in and select and option on the program, it will find the drive automatically and update some files for my specific purpose. Is there a way to automatically find a drive in a program?
