NETWORK MONITOR AND CONTROL

Most of you might have worked with Internet Transfer Control which is very handy control
when it comes to Internet Programming but there is another control which even more robust and helps
programmers creating more flexible applications. Winsock control comes with VB6 and is used to create
applications that access the low-level functions of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP).
TCP/IP is a specification that defines a series of protocols used to standardize how computers
exchange information with each other. TCP/IP provides communication across interconnected networks
that use diverse hardware architectures and various operating systems. The protocols in TCP/IP are
arranged in a series of layers known as a protocol stack. Each layer has its own functionality
In this project we can communicate from server to client through the TCP/IP protocol. If we want to
communicate with client we must know the IP Address of the particular client. If we know the IP Address
we can easily communicate with client and server.
In this project we can open the application in the client such that calculator, game like all the
accessories open in the server side. If we know the correct path we can open the any client application in
the server side. It is one of the advantages in this project.

Advantages:
1. It is the bidirectional communication so the client and server can chat with each other.
2. By using this project we can lock the client desktop. So the client can do nothing without remove
the lock using password.
3. If we know the correct path we can open the server applications in the client side.
4. You can view client’s desktop from the server side.
5. File transfer and windows explorer functions available.
6. Server also views their client face through webcam.
7. By using this project you can control the client like shutdown, restart and logoff.

This project can be done with the help of Visual Basic .Net and O.S of windows 98 or later. This
project will be very much useful for small scale industries where the MD or the manager can watch
their staffs and control them through the Winsock network programming concept.

Language:
VB.Net, MS SQL Server
