View 4 RepliesI'm trying to display the network adapters on the computer running this application.
For that I want to be able to display all network adapters, no matter which status they have. Then I want to be able to enable and disable the adapters by pushing a button.
I've tried using System.Net.NetworkInformation, but it seems as though it only contains the one that's active.

Can anyone point me to some code which can help obtain the network address from the host IP and subnet mask?
View 3 RepliesI want to find a Gateway of a particular network adapter, May be we can write code to find through this System.Net.NetworkInformation.GatewayIPAddressInformation but i don't how to code it.
View 2 RepliesThe following code will list all IP addresses of each adapter on your system:
Imports System.Net
For Each IPAddress In Dns.GetHostAddresses(Dns.GetHostName)
Debug.Print(IPAddress.ToString)
Next IPAddress
How can determine which is my primary Windows adapter? ie: Running the above gives me:
fe80::c78:d30:ce6c:67cb%10
fe80::f823:5811:6404:f6d3%21
fe80::94bc:17f:5cd9:4a1%26

My address from my router (primary address) is 192.168.1.25, or also it would be Dns.GetHostAddress(Dns.GetHostName).GetValue(4) which is the 5th element in the array If I'm obtaining a users local IP address on various machines with various amounts of network adapters, my program will break. I must know the IP of the primary Windows Ethernet/Wireless adapter in use.
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
I managed to obtain the primary adapter's IP address here: [URL]
But now I need that adapters gateway, ie: 192.168.1.1
We need to use VB.NET or command line to enable Network Adapters.OS: Windows XP Pro SP3User: Limited User Account which has been added to Network Configuration Operators, has the privilege to Disable / Enable when we right click on the Network AdapterRight Clicking on one of the Network Adapters has the Enable / Disable function that we want to use from VB.NET Code or Comand Line Function and works exactly as required.

View 1 RepliesIn my application, the user clicks a single button and the program displays each network adapter description into a message box and then gets all the ip info for the workstation and places it into a text file and opens that text for reading. What I would really like for it to do would be to display all the network adapters into a single messagebox instead of messagebox for every adapter like it is currently doing. Here is the code I have on that button. Let me know if anyone needs more info or has any questions:

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 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.

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).
