I'm thinking about trying to write a program in visual basic which will do the following:
*Automatically detect the operating system (windows based only).
*Accept an apartment number and bedroom number (1364 - 3) entered by user and look at a database (excel or access) to pull the appropriate IP address.
*Assign the IP address. Also, assign subnet, dns, gateway (same for each user).
I want the user to run the program and only have to input their apartment number and bedroom number. The program will then assign all the IP configuration stuff and do whatever is neccessary to make sure the computer is ready to use the internet (reboot, etc.)
The experience I have:
Took a VB course about 2.5 years ago.
Two C++ courses about a year ago.
How hard do you think it will be to program this? I'm open to any and all suggestions and help that you guys can provide. Thanks!
