It's somewhat difficult to change the RPC timeout on-the-fly inside a program. &nbsp;However you can use ping (with a 1-second wait) to quickly find &quot;dead&quot; IP addresses.

Hi. &nbsp;I have a script that I use to push patches to the boxes on my network. &nbsp;Problem is, when it tries to push to a router or a printer (I just feed it a subnet and it goes through the whole subnet) it will hang for about 5+ seconds before it realizes it cannot manage the device. &nbsp;Is there any quick and easy way to tell whether or not the device is a manageable PC or just a network device? &nbsp;Thanks!

Determining what a remote IP is

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
