Webhosting question

I have a class that uses raw sockets to ping and trace route to hosts, it
works like a charm. I have made this a part of a webservice running on a
hosted server (where my account is not part of the ADMIN group), and it
causes a "An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its
access permissions" error. Basically, ASPNET needs to be part of the admins
....

My question is: do any of you use a web hosting solution that permits the
above, or at least allows you to impersonate an ADMIN?

Thanks in advance,
 
Tim,

I doubt there are any out there that will grant you this in a shared
solution setup (where your site is hosted with other sites on the same box).
At the least, I would think that you would have to get a dedicated box with
a hosting provider in order to do this.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks Nicholas. Let's hope someone has let them do it ...

comes back.
