How to get all PC's IPs connected over a LAN on the same Workgroup [VB.NET]

[rebe21]

Hi everyone, i've checked out around the forum something about this question, but the answers i've found didn't satisfied me, so I decided to open a new thread.
I have a PC connected to my LAN with other PCs, under the same WorkGroup called "Workgroup" (!!). The first question is: how to get all PC's IP address connected to the LAN belonging to my workgroup from a Client PC ??


Thanks
Paolo

Deepak, that doesnt get all the IPs of each PC on the network. That just gets all of the IPs on the local PC.

Thanks for correcting me. I have removed that code.

yes, Deepak. Thanks for the code... but as chris said to you it gives me only the local name of my PC ....
I found ... searching on the forum a thread about this issue that resolves my question. 'RobDog888' gets the solution with a class ( I post here so in case someone needs it !!).

Thanks so much!

Thanks again!

What do you want to know? How far have you got?

[rebe21]

<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> _
Public Structure SERVER_INFO_100

Dim sv100_platform_id As Integer
Dim sv100_name As Integer

End Structure


<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet:=CharSet.Unicode)> _
Public Structure SERVER_INFO_101

Dim dwPlatformID As Integer
Dim lpszServerName As String
Dim dwVersionMajor As Integer
Dim dwVersionMinor As Integer
Dim dwType As Integer
Dim lpszComment As String

End Structure

I would like to know what does means these lines, in particular this "<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet:=CharSet.Unicode)> _". It seems like a c++ template declaration ...
It's just a curiosity!!!
Let me know! Thanks in advance!
