Require VB code to access the FILEDATETIME via the IP address (190.20.1.3) and not UNC (\\nnn\??). Is API code available to access via IP address?
Looking for the code that is exceuted after the the name is resolved by the operating system (HOST, LMHOST, DNS,WINS,DHCP,etc.). Have found VB kernel32 code that access file date but it requires UNC names.
Environment notes:
The user is connected via a dedicated TCP/IP frame-relay line. I have ADDCONNECTION code that works using IP address, but find the FILEDATETIME does not work with IP address.
We are like a service bureau. The user currently uses TELNET to access data. The user is NOT signed onto to our domain, just theirs.
There are no entries in LMHOST or HOST.(don't want user knowing our hosts IP address.) Want to do all of this via VB, nothing manual.
TIA
