I am writing a little program to search all ip adresses in my network for an appropriate respons.
But the ip addresses that do not have any server or service running give an error and even worse, it takes very long until the program continues to the next ip.
The error is not my problem, since it is only displayed in the console, but i want to limit the time it can take to wait for a respons. The servers i want to find easily respond within 500ms. So i set the program to give it 1000ms for each ip.
If anyone can help me… please speak up 😄

Hi mano1979, have you tryed to use thread() function to parallelize the requests?

No. Mainly because i don’t know what it means i guess.
Can you show me a short example on how to use it?

I had a look at the example, but if i understand right, I will have multiple threads running at the same time, all sending a get request to different ip addresses. won’t this give issues? either with the pc or the network?
I will offcourse try it. just have to figure out how to implement it. but i think i can do it.
i’ll keep you posted!

@Dennis I have found a sollution, but it means i have to make adjustments to the .net library.
However, when i make the changes and try to test my app, the changes do not make a difference. Do i need to recompile the library before i can use it? I tried restarting processing after the changes but still no difference.
I’m having trouble to rebuild the library so before i put more efford into it, i’d like to know if i have to rebuild it at all.

Sorry , but I’m not very expert in the library recompiling…
