Get a list of machines on a LAN

Hi,

Does anybody know how to search a LAN and compile a list of the machines that are currently running?

I am using VB6.

Thanks in advance,
Gibbo

Sure thing! Add a Listbox (List1) and a Command Button (Command1):

This will enumerate all computers in the current domain or workgroup.

This code is great.... Thank you very much Serge

Now once we have compiled the list of machines on the LAN
How do we get an IP address from each one?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanking you in advance
whatadonk

Well to get the Ip of yuor machine, you type : -

Code:

---

txtText1.text = Winsock1.LocalIP

---

Hope this helps in any way.

Ok so now that i can get a list of computer names on a LAN,
for example

Network Name HOME
Network Computer #1 \\SomeCoputerName
Network Computer #2 \\OldComputer

i would like to be able to go back through this list of networked computer names and find an IP for Network Computers 1 & 2

i.e.

Network Computer #1 \\SomeCoputerName IP: 234.123.0.4
Network Computer #2 \\OldComputer IP: 243.123.0.7

this is because in order to initialise communication over a network using Winsock controls i need to know to the IP address of the computer to communicate with

Hope this clarifys things, thanks everyone for helping me out

Where can I find the SocketsInitialize() function?

    Dim strLowByte As String

Make sure you have everything declared properly.

An apologize to this... but how are declared the following:

WS_VERSION_MAJOR
WS_VERSION_MINOR
MIN_SOCKETS_REQD

Thank you very much!!!

Sure thing:

Code:

---

Private Const WS_VERSION_REQD = &H101
Private Const WS_VERSION_MAJOR = WS_VERSION_REQD \ &H100 And &HFF&
Private Const WS_VERSION_MINOR = WS_VERSION_REQD And &HFF&

    iMaxSockets As Integer
    iMaxUdpDg As Integer

Serge, I´m so sorry, but I still need some declarations from the last code you sent me.

Please..???

WSASYS_Status_Len

Thank you very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very much!!!

Here are the asked declarations :

cas21, I get a can't resolve name error?

[Edited by cas21 on 01-20-2001 at 12:48 PM]

Still the same error? :confused:

'I have vb6. This works on my computer
'Did you put a winsock control on the form?

I am also using vb6, and yep put the winsock control on the form?

I am trying to run it over an NT network at work.

I'll try it again tommorrow morning, 60 hr week this week... time to go home and get some shut eye.

I am on NT also, I get a msgbox indicating:
"Can't Resolve Name"
I get a list of some things but not much.
I think that this program depends on network security settings under my login.
it seems to "work"

Try this code...it's a bit shorter, not so many loose ends...

Code:

    'Notes:  Very slow if domain name not valid

am i the only one who does not have the Active DS type library?

I am trying to make a client/server application for a LAN. Could somebody suggest a code to find machines on the LAN that are only running my software? Thanx.
