View 2 Replieshow we can enumerate or collect the ip addresses of all the hosts in a network. I am using VB.NET 2005. I tried using system.directoryservices but in vain.Would it be viable to find the subnet range and try pinging to every system within this range ? In this case how do we calculate the subnet range ?
View 2 RepliesTrying to write a Vbscript. Actually, I'm trying to modify an existing script that I found on the internet. I basically need the script to run on workstations, delete printers from our old print server (master), and install the corresponding printer from our new print server (dc01). I should also mention that the printer names have changes slightly. So far, the script does a great job of deleting printers from Master, but none of the corresponding dc01 printers are installed.
Here's the code:

Here 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:

Am looking at making a small application that will list printers on two file servers at two separate sites, from this app they can add the printer/s to there local computer.
I have found a small application on the web but there are a few improvements it could do with.
They are; Show all local printers without having to click on a check box. Show sites printers without having to click on a check box. Show comments about the printer�s location other then just the site.
If it is possible I would like to update this one, but if there are any other examples where I could download something similar, or even some help with how to begin to create a new application.
Here are some screen shots, of the application form and the xml which holds the folder structure for the sites.
i have an app that pings all IP's on my network and then adds all alive hosts to a list, then my WMI query runs for all of them ips and gets some information. it all works fine except for when it gets to printers and switches/routers which obviously dont support WMI. Is there some way i can check if a device supports WMI and skip the query if it does not?
View 2 RepliesI 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.

View 1 RepliesI would like to ask something about Network in VB.NetI try to search network code sample to produce VB.Net application (Like Server and client)But I found a lot of codes (Server and client) and the codes are very complicated for me because codes are mixed with chatting process So I would like to know or want some sample Network VB.Net application(code) the application has two forms
form1(server) and form2(client)
form2(client) has (one button or textbox)
form1(server) can make visible or invisible (button or textbox) of the form2 (Like that code, I can able to make or learn other processes) I want to know how to code it. If I can get the code, I can learn more smoothly with various way
I thought I had already done this in a previous project and also thought it was really easy but I am now struggling with this.All I want to do is get a list of all of the IP addresses that are assigned to the computer running my app. I thought I would use Net.NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces and then there would be a property on each item in that collection that told me the IPs assigned to that network card but it would seem not.
Searched and searched but the only 'solution' seems to be to use GetDnsHostEntry or WMI something similar and I dont like the sound of either of those. Surely if you can get the DNS servers IP address, Dhcp Server's IP address and Gateway IP address from the NetworkInterface instance then you must be able to get the local IP addresses as well?? I'm sure I am missing something obvious..
is there a way through vb visual express 08 to ask a printer if it has toner or paper? im not to sure on how to communicate with printers in this way if it is at all possible.i am writing a program to display the status of the printer and this is key.
View 1 RepliesWhen you go to the Start button and then "Printers and Faxes" and you see a list of the printer objects defined on that PC. In my App VB.Net app I want to be ale to use a drop down box to display this list of printers and allow the user to select one of them.So, Not necessarily a list of printers on the Intranet that the user is connected to, only on their personal PC.

I have multiple forms and reports with different print area. Some are designed to print to a thermal label printer and others to department shared printers. Currently the user is able to change the printer in print dialog box and print to differernt printers. I want to be able to create a form where the user can assign different printers for different jobs and not have to worry about it.
The problem is, i have never worked with printing function and my collegues arent too smart so I was wondering if someone can throw me ideas on where to start so i can start googling for it.

I have what is basically a text only printer (a Zebra 105SL) connected to my network at a static IP address. I have downloaded Zebra's Text only driver for it and set up a print queue named "Zebra North Text". I can print to that queue from Notepad just fine.
However, I am trying to print from a VB 2005 (soon to be upgraded to VB 2010 or VB 11) application. All of the standard VB sample printing code assumes I need to render the text in Fonts, etc, which just confuses the Text Driver.[code]...

I have search this many times and found that most of the posts contain solutions that the original poster claims don't work The standard PrintProperties class does not handle a lot of printers who have specifictsks, eg a printer designed to pint on the face odf CD/DVD. I have found examples of how do this in VB6, but every examply I find for the versions of VB Basic after thet have comments that the solution provided did not persist the user chnges. Bow, come on, there has to be a way of displaying and persisting the user choises the dialog bog provided by the printer manufacturer!Terry
