[Somil]

Hi

How can i determine the IP adresses/names of all the computers on a network when i act as

1. SERVER

2. CLIENT

Hi there

Under MS Windows try the "NET VIEW" command line.

Thanks for the reply.

I am sorry, i just forgot to mention that i wanted to determine the IP addresses in LabVIEW. I can find out my own IP address but how can i determine the IP address of other client computers on a network as a client and server?

Use system exec.vi in LabVIEW and give NET VIEW as command(as Chrisger mentioned).

Hope this helps?

well, try the "NET VIEW" command on the command line. This returns the names of all systems in your network. take a look at the "System Exec.vi" to call a command line from LabVIEW. Then use the "String To IP Function" to get the IP of the systems from their name.

HI.

This method is working. i am getting the names. But i am not getting the IP addresses.

Have a look at the code

Once you have the list of names, you can ping each computer by name and parse out the IP address from that.  You'll want to adjust the ping parameters so it timesout relatively quickly if needed, and doesn't ping too many times.  Otherwise pinging each computer will take 5-10 seconds just to get the IP address.
