Automatically detect a new computer connected to the network
- by Ian
Hi All,
Is there an elegant way to make a program detect a new computer that is connected to the network?
I would like my program to "auto-sense" a new computer being connected on the network (they're on the same network). Like a USB device being connected to the computer.
What I'm doing now is to save a list of all computers in the network from time to time. Another approach is to PING all available IPs on the subnet.
Are there any other elegant approaches?
Thanks!
