IP address

[TomHosmer]

This may have been addressed before but I'll ask anyway.

Is there an easy way in VB 05 to get either the computer name or ip address
(or both) of the ActiveSync connected desktop computer on the mobile device?
(I'm working with PPC and CE 5.0 devices)
Thanks

No, there is no way to do it. It's resolved to the PPC as "PPP_PEER" but it
has no way to query the network info of the PC.

The name should be "ppp_peer", and you should be able to resolve its ip
address with:

System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry("ppp_peer")

However, I never really tried.

In fact you can get you the hostname or IP address of your desktop if using
ActiveSync by reading registry key: "Software\Microsoft\Windows CE
Services\Partners"
