    How do I detect networks programatically?

    I need to know if a laptop is connected to the Bellsouth network or the
    Sprint wireless network. How can this be done with VB.Net 2005?

      Can you please post how you are doing this? I am trying to determine if a PC
      is connected to a certain netwoek.

      Thanks,

        I've never had to do this but I would check the My.Computer.Net work
        members

          My stuff detects ISP networks. (I say "my stuff" - actually the code I found
          after searching four hours on the net.)

          To detect a LAN I'd just ping a known server. That is what you were trying
          to do, right? Detect a local network?
