Is it possible to write a VB app that has the functionality of a router's configuration utilities (the config you access by typing the router's ip address in a web browser)? I want to create an exe that can configure my router.

Wilk, I like your idea but what you want to do is very dificult(I think). You see, routers like the Linksys and D-Link use a web based language called Java Script(Netscape) or J Script(Microsoft)not to be confused with VBScript which can be referenced through VB. So, If you find a way I would like to know. I can think of tons of little projects I could create but have been too lazy to do any *real* research.
good luck
Thanks. Does anyone else have any other insight to this?
for security reasons, remote admin is not allowed on most routers via direct protocol. if the router functions as a web server for its configuraation, theres nothing to stop you writing an app that has a hidden web browser..Quote:
