Detecting machines on a network

[a]

Hi,

Does anybody know of a way of detecting machines on a network and
retrieving their names and ip addresses?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

The directorysearcher class can retrieve the computer names from an
active directory. Add a reference to system.directoryservices.dll.

Dim de As New System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://domain name")

Dim ds As New System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher(de)

Dim r As System.DirectoryServices.SearchResult

ds.Filter = "(objectClass=computer)"

Try

For Each r In ds.FindAll

Dim s As String

Console.WriteLine(r.GetDirectoryEntry.Name.ToString)

Next

Catch e As Exception

Console.WriteLine(e.ToString)

End Try

Thanks for your reply! Is there anyway of finding the machines on a
network without using Active Directory?

Thanks in advance,
