how to collect ip address of the systems in LAN
-
Hi all I am working on a chat application in vb.net. I can specify a IP address and send message to a computer where my application is installed and running. But i want to populate the ip address ( system in the LAN where application is running)automatically as soon as the application starts, just like any messenger(where the name of online people display in bold). A refresh button i want to put so that as soon a new user in different machine starts the application his IP gets displayed in the application window. Thanks and Regards

You'll need a central server that all the clients check into when they start. This server would keep track of the IP's for each client and give them out to the clients when they check in.
