Hello
I have written a bit of software that is used to make the set-up of some equipment our customers are using easier. I call up a command prompt and then use FTP to send and receive the files and then display the information on the screen in an easy to understand format. I'm sure there is a better way of doing the FTP part of my code than using a command prompt but it's all working quite well at the moment and I may look to change it at a later point in time.
My biggest problem at the moment is the user needs to know the IP address of the equipment that they are trying to set-up. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to scan my network for IP address's and how I can identify what's at each address. I have tried pinging all 254 address but it takes quite a long time and I'm sure there must be a better way of doing this.
Thanks for any help
