Hello Experts!<br />
&nbsp; I have discovered a incompatibility issue on my software running it on a Windows 2000 Pro.<br />
<br />
I have written a code that checks the presence of certain devices on the network with: IcmpCreateFile, IcmpSendEcho and IcmpCloseHandle. My software runs without problem on XP SP2 or higher.<br />
<br />
Executing the software on a Windows 2000 Pro SP4 I get entry-point error of IcmpSendEcho on iphlpapi.dll<br />
<br />
IPHLPAPI.DLL is present on the W2K system with version 5.0.2195.7097<br />
ICMP.DLL is present on the W2K system with version: 5.0.2134.1<br />
<br />
According to MSDN, Icmp functions works on Widnows 2000 Pro using Icmp.dll (<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366050(VS.85).aspx" rel="ugc nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366050(VS.85).aspx</a>)<br />
<br />
Any suggestion on how to fix this problem and 'why not' a little bit of theory will be appreciate.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Icmp functions in Windows 2000 Pro

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once

Visual C++.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
