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

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 ?? :confused:


Thanks :wave:

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!

Sorry.... i would like more about this code... so if someone could give me some explanation....!!

Thanks again!

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

<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!!! :D
Let me know! Thanks in advance!
