I'd like to know if there is any .Net class that allows me to know the SSID of the wireless network I'm connected to. So far I only found the library linked below. Is the best I can get or should I use something else? Managed WiFi (http://www.codeplex.com/managedwifi) The method that exploits WMI works for Windows XP but is it not worki...
The title kinda sums it up--I need to be able to pro grammatically connect to a known access point (the SSID and credentials will be loaded during device provisioning). I understand that both the Compact Framework SDK and the OpenNETCF SDK offer some helper methods, but I can't seem to find a good tutorial on how to use them. ...
I'm trying to debug a windows mobile aplication using a wifi connection, on a Vista with Visual Studio 2008 following this instruction http://blogs.msdn.com/vsdteam/archive/2005/04/28/413304.aspx. It worked flawlessly with XP SP2, but not with Vista. Do you know if this is possible at all? or is another flaw from Vista? ...
I was recently asked to "just stick a link at the top" of one of our sites to offer hand held users the use of http://stackoverflow.com">Google's Wireless Transcoder. Initially I was skeptical but as I started to look into it I became intrigued that this could save me a lot of work. Though I'd love to implement a hand held solution for ...
i will be working on a project that tries to determine your position using the wifi signal strength from a few access points. i was wondering if anyone knew of any similiar projects or any articles on that topic if anyone cares: its a research project in at my university. the app is written is used as a playing ground to develop new wif...
I'm trying to figure out how I can determine, through C# code, if my communication with a remote machine uses the WLAN card or a wired NIC on the local machine. For instance the remote machine is accessed through either ODBC connection to a SQL database, or a UNC fileshare. How can I detect if the communication is done through WLAN or w...
I would like to programmatically get a list of available wireless networks (by SSID) using a Windows Mobile 5/6 device. Does anyone know how to do this or where I might find information on accessing the WIFI adapter? ...
Hi. I'm supposed to be setting up a 'geolocation based', ipv6, wireless mesh network to run on google android. I found what seems to be a good app to support the meshing: http://www.open-mesh.net/wiki/batman-adv "Batman-advanced is a new approach to wireless networking which does no longer operate on the IP basis. Unlike B....
I'm in a team and we are supposed to be setting up a 'geolocation based', ipv6, wifi mesh network to run on google android. The idea is to use the geolocation (latitude, longitude, altitude) of each node to generate the IPv6 address, then use that to choose the closest node as the preferred node for routing through. Some optimisation i...
I have to transfer files between two computers using GSM 81GR modem and a BSNL sim card is used for both the modems. But apparently in to transfer files using Hyperterminal, we need to have the Data card numbers of the sim card and for BSNl, there is no such concept. I need to find out as to how can i do the same with the voice numbers a...
We would like to run a wireless access point for public use. However, in case of misbehavior, we would like some personal information to be able to pass on to law enforcement. The proposed solution involves a captive portal where users enter their email addresses, and are then given ten minutes to check their email and verify, after whi...
this wireless camera says it has motion detection amoung its features. link text Can/How can I control such a camera from my .NET code? I want my code to be told when motion is detected so that the code can instruct the lights to be turned on ( that is the next question ). Or have the .net code tell the camera to look in another direct...
I have created a couple of PowerShell scripts which configure computers used in a training class. Some classes need to connect to a different wireless network (SSID). I can just instruct users how to use the windows XP facilitites to change the network they are connected to but I would like to be able to roll the network selection in t...
So I have an Apple Airport Extreme base station that I use to create a wifi network at my house. But on a separate story from this station i have a PC (running Windows 7) that does not have a wireless card. Luckily, I have another Airport Extreme Base Station, so I figured I'd have my second station "extend" the existing network. I as...
Is there an API (or command line) in Ubuntu to see the available wireless networks, their strength, etc, and connecting to one? ...
I'd like to fire some callback every time my network card sends new info about the available networks. I don't really mind if I need to poll the information myself either. I just don't want to rely on spawning "iwlist scan last" every second, but that's exactly the information I need (network name + channel + encryption type). Is there ...
In Windows Vista, if i click the "properties" of my wireless connection, and go to security tab, i am allowed to set the "authentication type" and "encryption type". I am confused, so any client computer who connects to the router wirelessly can set those 2 things? so computer A can set encryption type to WPA, and computer B can set it t...
Hello, I need to get the encryption status for a given wireless adapter (WEP, WPA or WPA2). I know about ndisuio and OID_802_11_ENCRYPTION_STATUS, but this method is not supported on all adapters. Is there a better method? Thanks. ...
I am writing a WiFi connectivity/sniffer in .Net to be used as a self deploying tool from a USB stick. The intention is that it will scan for unsecured available networks and then try to connect to each one in turn and detmerine whether there is a login / proxy or whether directo connection to my arbitary website is possible. This is to ...
I've written a small (8-10 laptops) point-of-sale system running over a wireless network, as an HTA that reads from/writes to an Access MDB located on a network share. I need to use ADO - GetString and the user roster are not available with DAO. I also need to use DAO - the MDB cannot be compacted with ADO. I know that: 1) If the databa...
