I'd like to build a program which shares files between two computers. My method for doing that is setting up a home network, basically, on one computer, put a file there, and share that file on the network. The other computer would then connect to the network (through my application) and find the file and read it. I know this is very long. I would just like you to help me start up.How do I create a wireless network ENTIRELY THROUGH VB during the initial setup of the application? I don't want the user to deal with creating the network himself.

I need to know how to find wireless network and connect to it.
i also need to know how to type in the network key before connecting.
I was woundering if it is possible to set the encryption key of a wireless network through VB.
If you need any more info just ask,
I am currently improving an existing handheld application, this app makes live calls to our network over the wireless connection, if the wireless connection is not established I am displaying a holding screen to the user, this screen rechecks connection every three seconds.I want to put a button on this screen that closes down the application if the user does not want to wait any longer. At the moment I am using the application.exit command, however it continues to finish the first original thread (i.e. trying to process the dataset) before actually closing the application, I am looking for a way to kill the application there and then!
View 2 RepliesI am using the code below to test whether the user is connected using either a wireless or LAN connection. i.e. that the cable is plugged in, or the wireless is switch off. The code works fine for this. However, if you can spot any potential problems with this or you know of a better way I would be interested to learn more.

My issue, however, is connecting to the wireless laptops as well.

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.

View 3 RepliesI have a problem when trying to detect the computers network connection status.
Here is the code I have used:
Dim IsAvalible As String = My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable
If IsAvalible = True Then Label1.Text = "Connected" Else <code>
<code>If IsAvalible = False Then</code> I <code>
Label1.Text = "Disconnected"</code></code>
End If [/ICODE] End If[/ICODE]
But for some even when the network is disconnected or the computers wifi is turned on I still get the result of "Connected". I think there something wrong with 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:

View 2 Repliesi'm using Visual Basic 2008 - Office 2007 - addin for ppt.
ok i'm going to delete the other thread. i'm going to rephrase and try to explain as clearly as possible.
I need to find a code that (when i click the "Search" Button) will start searching for all available lan and wireless connections.
All the available selections will be shown in a List Box provided.
Once i find one i want to use, i can stop the search (by pressing another button "Stop" in this case) or just straight away click the one i want and press another button ("Select" in this case) and if it needs a password or WEP then it will display or it will just connect without asking.
Is there a way that VB.net can identify the encryption type of a wireless network? Just identify it, i'm not looking to do anything further than that and yet just about every search result i get from google wants to tell me how to sniff wep keys etc. Don't care, just want to know what type of encryption the network is using?

When the user it's connected trough the wired connection it works just fine, the user doesn't need any authentication, because the smtp has granted access to the subnet of the wired lan.But if the user it's connected by wireless, i can't send any email because the wireless subnet doesn't have granted access. Even if i provide valid credentials the smtp client doesn't use them... An exception occurs with something related to relay to the email address....How can i solve this situationMS Outlook works fine either on wired or wireless, so how can i code my app to authenticate and send the email authenticated.

I have a question. Is it possible to use VB to check wireless connection on a router? I was looking at my WIFI router and I am able to see my LAN connections and wireless clients.

If possible the i would like to check the wireless connections and identify rougue connections or wireless clients not in my list of approval.( either hard coded or a xml file)

how to incorporate a PIC with VB.
I`m trying to find out the steps needed to achieve that, i`m i correct?
1) i need to find a PIC that is suitable for my project (to handle wireless motion sensors)?
2) I need to write the code for the PIC? (does the manufacture of the PIC provides an environment to write the assembly language?)
3) Then i need to write the vb code?
4) Finally to use a serial port to create a communication between VB and PIC. Also are their any all ready made PIC`s that can support VB code direct without the need of writing the assembly code?
