Hello all,
I want to make a small VB program which when you enter an IP address it gathers the Host's computer info like:
-Computer Name
-Computer Description
-Network Group/Domain name
-Operating System (optional)
Help?
Thanks!

This is probably not possible for security reasons, if you could then you could do other things that could be damaging.Quote:

Otherwise maybe you can do it through Winsock messages but I am not shure.

Yea not posible, unless your talking about network PC's which I doubt you are. If you want I have the code to get Network name and the computer names on it.

It is possible, if you can put a client program on the client machine which relays the information back :)

Arr ok, maybe i miss-understood. If you cant get a client program onto the host amchine its a no-no i think,

If you have proper permissions, you can run msinfo32 on remote machines, using lists of things to check for, which get output to reports. I was looking for SYSINFO for some reason.
