How to get Network Statistics of a Remote PC

Question

H! I have to make an application in vc++ which can get the network statics of remote PC. Is any one can help me to solve my problem?

What are "network statics"? What information do you wish to be included? What operating system is the remote PC running? — Cody Gray - on strike, Apr 13 '11 at 05:19

Since you said vc++, therefore, I assume that you have to do this in Windows environment. Have a look at SNMP protocol. And How it can be used to get information of remote machines.

Look at this SO Question as well.

Depending on the network statistics that you want to capture, you may find that (as Aamir suggested) SNMP is a good choice.

There are standard MIBs defined that will provide a number of network statistics. Three that are worth investigation are:

NET-SNMP is a good library for accessing SNMP information and is available for Windows (as you've mentioned vc++). Others are available.

This does assume that you have an SNMP agent running and accessible on the remote machines that you wish to monitor.

Thanks Aamir and Andrew...as both of you have suggested i am going to use NET-SNMP. If find further problem than i will contact you again. — Rockford, Apr 13 '11 at 06:09
