I'm trying to get the ip address of my local PC, and one one of my other PCs it gets the v4 address fine, but on this one the code:
Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName).AddressList(0).ToString()
returns what I guess is a IPv6 address:
fe80::9c09:e2e:4736:4c62%11
How do I get the IPv4 address?
I tried ipEntery.AddressList.GetValue(0).ToString in a messagebox
but it only displays link-local ipv6 address o f"fe80::28d3:3882:3490:1a95%11" is their another way of obtaining local ipv4 address directly?
heres the script basically it sets (supposed to) Local area connection ipv4 static ip address to 10.XX.XX.2 but it dosent work it works fine if you run cmd as addy and put the script in netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 10.XX.XX.2
Dim txtlen As Integer = Len(TextBox2.Text)
Dim IPAddy As String = ""
Dim asciiSplit(4) As Char

View 1 RepliesAll, I have a Custom object which I have written using VB.NET (.net 2.0). The object instantiates its own threading.timer object and carries out a number of background process including periodic interrogation of an oracle database and delivery of emails via smtp according to data detected in the database. The following is the code implemented in the windows service class [Code].
After a little bit of experimentation I arrived at the above code in the OnStart method. All functionality passed testing when deployed from VS2005 on my development PC, however when deployed on a true target machine, the service would not start and responds with the following message: "The service on local computer started and then stopped..." Am I going about this the correct way? If not how can I best implement my incident manager within the confines of the Windows Service class. It seems pointless to implement a timer for the incident-manager because this already implements its own timer.
When I use:
File.Copy(strRemoteFolder, strLocalFolder)

I am using the EmailMessage to send email message(s) from my local computer. I am also using the SMTP server of my ISP and generally it works just fine. However, some of the emails are never delivered to the destination (bouncing emails) and i get "Mail Delivery failed: returning message to sender" How do i check if the message can be delivered rather than receive the "returning message to sender"? Should i check the destination email server? I have no idea from where to start actually.

How can I return the IPv4 address in VB.Net? E.g. 192.168.1.5
View 3 RepliesI have the following code:
Dim ipAdd As IPAddress = Dns.GetHostEntry(strHostname).AddressList(0)

When I convert to String instead of an IPv4 address like 192.168.1.0 or similar I get the IPv6 version: fd80::5dbe:5d89:e51b:d313 address. Is there a way I can return the IPv4 address from IPAddress type?

I am running this on my version of window 7 - my problem is that it is returning a IPv6 address and not a IPv4. I have searched and played around all evening to try and sort this out... to no avail.
In the past I have written applications that communicate over the network. These have always made use of the System.Net and System.Net.Sockets classes and communicated over TCP connections. The connections have always required an IP address and a port. As these applications have been used by myself and colleages, setting up port forwarding and various other network settings has never been a problem. However, when developing an application for use by the general public, it obviously not a good idea to assume the user is capable of managing these settings.

View 3 Repliesi have a task to create a TCP Server (a program that is listening on its network card interfaces for incoming data stream).I have search on the internet and i found that i can use two methods : Socket or TCPListener class.I have created an example for Socket class, but i wondering how could i test it? I need to check that if another computer in the network send some string data to the listener computer , then this message should be displayed.Here is the example from microsoft that i am using for TCP Server using Socket:
Public Shared Sub Main()
' Data buffer for incoming data.
Dim data = nothingc[code]....
But it does not work because of the PORT setting.If in the TCP Server i have "Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)" the client crashes, but if i change the port from any (0) to 11000 for example,the client works fine.Do you know why?
Later edit2:Maybe i should have started with this question:Which method is recommended for my scope?asynchronous or synchronous method ?
I am developing a computer application designed to monitor the network and CPU statistics on a computer remotely. The monitored computer would have my program installed and the monitoring computer would display, in a form, the information being sent from the remote client.The application does not send any information regarding packets, user names, passwords, etc. It is solely meant for monitoring CPU performance and Network resources remotely.
What would be the best method to send this information over to my host machine?I am programing in Visual Studio 2008 on windows XP. The client machine is also XP. I know this sounds a little shady, but it is required for my little business (http://www.iquorum.net) to monitor what and when something happens on our machines when I and my employees are away.

View 6 RepliesI have a desktop computer with a cable connection on the back that allows me to watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center. I had the idea of writing a program that would access this feed and send it to another computer (laptop) via my network. That way I would be able to watch TV from anywhere that my network spans. I have no idea if this is possible or how I would even do it,
So I have three questions.
1: Is it possible?
2: How would I go about access the feed?
3: How would I send it over the network?
