View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 2 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
Firstly, I have the utmost respect for programmers & IT professionals. I'm a newby/wanna-be. I'm looking for help on developing a small program/script that helps me with the task I have detailed below. I am NOT submitting this as homework. This is work-related, but I'm NOT asking you to do my job. I'm taking this as an opportunity to learn more about programming by doing a task that I need done. I'm very interested in core concepts, steps, and your advice on how best to tackle this task (which tools, language, etc.)

View 2 RepliesI am wanting to make or have someone help me make a remote support system. I would like it to have a ticket system interegated into it, but if it would be easier to just have the remote support, then I'll just stick with that. I am wanting for my client's to download the client version and then connect to it. Then they give me their IP or some code that I type in and connect and control their computer. I give technical support.

View 3 RepliesThe company I work for is looking for the best way to track "tech calls". We would most likely develop in house using vb.net, but possibly could look at using some open source vb.net software already out there. We will probably want to track just the basic info like client, datetime, length of call & a notes section about the call. One idea that has floated around is recording everyone's calls, watching a directory for new files and popping up a form so the user can enter the info when the call is over. We really don't want to spend a lot of time tracking/logging these calls, something quick & simple. Anybody have a good idea or solution that they have used before?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make my program compatible with more computers, even if their computer is not up to date. Im trying to make it compatible with the following windows versions, all versions so if it has home, professional, server, etc...
Windows 98
Windows 2000
Windows ME
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7 RC
Now, my program is compatible with the bottom 3, and with 64 bit computers, the problem is that my program has to have the .NET framework 3.5 installed, which meens XP needs updated and that framework installed, and on earlier versions, it wont install the framework through windows update and the like, also, I cant expect people who want to use it to have it installed, can anyone explain a way for me to make it so my program if its possible, then whatever features may use that framework, if just not calling that code will stop the program from crashing, or if i can make it use older version instead of a newer version framework, maybe only in certain cases.

View 6 RepliesI've just created a program in Visual Basic.NET 2010 Express Edition, and the program works great on my computer. Unfortunately, when I try running it on other computers, the process on the Task Manager for it comes up for literally 2 seconds and then goes away, and the program does not run. Basically, the program doesn't open. I'm not sure why this is happening, and I'm not getting any errors.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit, and I've tried getting it to work on two other computers, with no luck. The first one had Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit, and the second one had the same operating system as my computer. All computers have the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile installed, which is what my application is compiled to work with. I also tried compiling it to use .NET Framework 4 (without the Client Profile), and that didn't help.
If it helps, my References are as follows (which I believe are the defaults):
- Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs
- System
- System.Core

From all the chat applications I successfully made each and every one of them required me to port forward my router so that the data can be received. Now my question is how can I make my chat program work on computers that have routers with most of the ports blocked, how do traditional chat programs do it? Perhaps The chat program intercepts packets then sends it to a known port such as 80?

I created a program using visual basic. For some functions the program accesses a dll which was created using visual c++. When the program is run on a computer that does not have visual studio installed, functions which make calls to the dll generate an error: Unable to load DLL 'filename.dll': This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800736B1).Reinstalling the application does not help, and when the program is run on a computer that does have visual studio installed, calls to the dll work as expected without generating any type of error.Is there some component that is installed with Visual Studio that I need to attach to my program installation? Is there some way I can create or access the dll such that it does not need this component?
