I am working on a project and am trying to gather IP packet informtion and put it into an access database. How do I do this using vb.net? I am trying to have the code check how many times an IP address is hit. A counter will be incremented and the IP address will be sent to the database. Does anyone have any ideas?? ANy help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

Are you trying to get help on what your DB schema should look like, or how to use ADO.NET?

Work smarter, not harder.

You have not asked a specific enough question. I am assuming that this is because you do not know where to start.

Based on your subject, I am assuming that your issue is with writing the data to the database, not determining when the IP address is hit.

1) You should have one or more tables that will store the information. If you don't have this already, then you need to talk to your DBA to help design it. If you don't have a DBA, then you need to do this yourself. There are many books on how to design databases. You should plan on finding out how/why/when the data will be used, and take that into account.

2) You need to use ADO.NET to communicate with the database. If you are not familiar with ADO.NET, I recommend getting a book that talks about it. Most Beginning/Professional VB.NET books will have a chapter about it. There are also books devoted to the topic of ADO.NET from VB.NET. I would expect that the beginning/professional VB.NET books would give enough information for what you want to do. They typically also have a chapter or two on web services.
