Detecting IP Devices using VB.Net

[JJ]

Hi All,

does anyone have any suggestions as to how
I could detect all IP devices on my LAN using
VB.Net and the system.net.sockets framework.

I tried to use shell the ping command to return
the success or failure of the command, bu shell
either return the processID or the success of running
the shell, not a return code from the ping command.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Jason.
