Network Discovery Code

[TheStriker]

Hello,

I am fairly new to the .Net Community and have been commisioned to convert some of our existing web apps from classic ASP to ASP.Net. One of the web applications has a feature that takes (network) information from a user via a webform like IP address, Computer name etc. and discovers the network, retrieves computer names and their IP addresses in a specified domain. I have tried many third party tools and haven't found exactly what I needed so I will have to write the code myself. I was wondering if anybody knew what coding/scripting language would accomplish this from a web page.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You essentially need to bypass most of the browser's security features to do this. Sounds like a job for an ActiveX control.

Do I have to write my own ActiveX control or is there an existing one that will accomplish this?

No idea, sorry.
Try Google.

Actually this feature was the reason why I chose to migrate to ASP.NET because I thought that it would lend itself to functions of this type. I basically want to be able to discover the network after the user enters their login credentials. Is there any coding convention like WSH or something that will accomplish this through a webpage?
I am totally clueless and my boss is breathing down my neck on this one. Any help or direction is appreciated.

Thanks
