Remote admin in c#

i am already testing the code but i only able to get my own ip address in the list box. I think it is necessary to describe abit about my house network. i have 6 pc . 3 connected to the a router. 3 connected to a hub. These hub are also connected to the router uplink. I have another ADSL modem is also connected to the router WAN which provide me the internet connection. We are sharing a broadband connection. We are all in the same workgroup name "HOUSE". My pc does not connected with them through winsock connection. so, is it other way to get all ip addresses and a list of services of other pc connected ? Thank you

Good. That helps. If you are working with ASP.NET, you might do things differently because of security, for example. If you're using a regular application, such things shouldn't be a problem. You've mentioned a list of IPs, but I'm not sure how you can have a workgroup AND domain on the same machine. I can only offer you an example of how to get a list of all IP addresses using the Sockets API. This code will add each IP address to a listbox. using System.Net.Sockets; ... private void button7_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { string hostname = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName(); IPHostEntry hostentry = Dns.Resolve(hostname); IPAddress[] iplist = hostentry.AddressList; listBox1.Items.Clear(); for (int j=0; j< iplist.Length; j++) { listBox1.Items.Add(iplist[j].ToString()); } } To handle windows services, you need to use the ServiceController class to start, stop, pause, continue, or enumerate services.

i am not sure what remoting method i am using currently because i just starting my project, i am still doing my research, i am making a windows application , so i am not implementing web services. Mostly i will implements .Net remoting or RPC, do u have any references or sample of doing it in c# that i can references to? May be i should focus back to my question first. 1. How can i get all the ip which connected in the same and diffrent workgroup ? 2. How can i get a list of running background services and program from other pc in the same workgroup and able to terminate their services ? thank you .

What is your remoting method? .NET Remoting, Sockets, WebServices, RPC, Mailslots, NamedPipes, etc? I suspect that you would do it the same way on the server machine as you would on the local machine the remote machine just "triggers" the operation and receives the result. This is why the remoting method makes a difference.
