Hello dear I had sent my earlier queries regarding same topic. However just to be more specific this time..
I just wann try to detect that if there are some ip address in a list of some ip address alive or not. How can i do this? Shall i try to connect them and check that my connection is working or not? If working than means alive .... (connection based) SHalle i send some buffer value (whatever) to socket using sendto(...) and then checking for return value? (Connectionless) Well for me it doesnot matter that i should have connection or connectionless.. I just wannn know who are alive in my LAN? This application will be for my computers in lan. not for maganetwork. LAN will have just some bridges and computers. i need to detect tham all.. however i doesnot matter that all of them replies or not. I just wann know that atleast some of them reply. Rest i will take care of...
