How to get IP addresses of the machines connected to the network

[ushasharma]

See I am developing an application in which i need to popup the message like"record updated" to the rest of the machines connected to the network, in that either i have to get all the ip addresses of the machines or the user names.

Can anyone help me to get the ip addresses or users name into my control.

Rather than getting every user / IP address on the network, you should be able to send a Broadcast message. This will be displayed on every machine on the network.

Unfortunatly I don't know how to do this, but check MSDN for TCPIP broadcasting.

I have a feeling that you send a message a broadcast message by sending it to an IP address of 128.128.128.128
but I am not completly sure??

Hope this helps,
