Searching for a computer

[Juan Gabriel Del Cid]

I wanna know if a certain computer exists on the

network by giving its name.

Resolve the name. If it throws an exception, it couldn't find it for some
reason:

try {
IPHostEntry hostInfo = Dns.GetHostByName(hostName);
Console.WriteLine(hostInfo.AddressList[0].ToString());
} catch (SocketException exc) {
Console.WriteLine("[Error {0}]: {1}", exc.ErrorCode, exc.Message);
}

Hope that helps,
-JG
