You can't tell if something is wired or Wifi without talking to the router directly: and they all work differently, so there is no one way to do that.
You can get MAC addresses on the LAN which will include Wifi connected devices: Retrieving IP and MAC addresses for a LAN[^] - it's in C#, but there are online converters which should change it to VB if you really need them.

Did you change the layout of your keyboard? Or are you missing the coffee? ;P

Caffeine I think - though it's possible I was too distracted to notice the red underlines: it's been a "difficult week" in a lot of ways.

itelle dinglasan 31-Aug-14 9:52am

what red underlines? :)

OriginalGriff 31-Aug-14 9:57am

Your browser doesn't include a spell check on text box input?
How...quaint. :laugh:

Switch to Chrome: it spell checks as you type and underlines mistakes.

im sorry :{

OriginalGriff 31-Aug-14 11:00am

What are you apologising for? :laugh:
I couldn't cope without a spell check - it's pointed out three errors in this message so far! :O

itelle dinglasan 31-Aug-14 11:07am

hahaha laughs:) i thought you were having problems with my grammar.

OriginalGriff 31-Aug-14 11:19am

No! My total-absence-of-spelling ability!

itelle dinglasan 31-Aug-14 11:10am

by the way, do you have any idea of the program i am asking for help. if you dont mind?

OriginalGriff 31-Aug-14 11:21am

Read what I said: you can't tell wifi from wired.
And the link provides the code, if you need it in VB just use one of the online C#-VB translators:
http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/csharp-to-vb/
or
http://converter.telerik.com/
They aren't perfect, but they are pretty good, and it should be pretty obvious what is happening anyway.

thank you so much. i will try to work on it thanks a lot

OriginalGriff 31-Aug-14 11:30am
