How do I detect networks programatically ?

jim
I need to know if a laptop is connected to the Bellsouth network or the
Sprint wireless network. How can this be done with VB.Net 2005?

Can you please post how you are doing this? I am trying to determine if a PC
is connected to a certain netwoek.

Thanks,

My stuff detects ISP networks. (I say "my stuff" - actually the code I found
after searching four hours on the net.)

To detect a LAN I'd just ping a known server. That is what you were trying
to do, right? Detect a local network?

My question is, what is the most reliable way to detect page views per hour programatically. I do NOT want to read the IIS logs. But writing/reading performance stats from performance counter is ok. I also do not want to slow down the server...

I looked at the Application_End method in global.asax, as well as the System. AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DomainUnload event. Neither get...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
