How to get device type from MAC or IP address?
c#, device, hostname, ip-address, mac-address
Solution
You can get the manufacturer from the MAC address. In order to get any more information you'd need to do a port scan to do a 'fingerprint' of the device in question.
Application such as NMAP use this approach.
Problem
I am making a Device Discovery windows application in C#. Is this possible to know the device type if I have MAC address or IP address? device type means either it is computer or router or mobile or any other device? Note: HostName entry is not useful for it because Host Name is defined by User. for example i may assign "Nokia N70" name to my computer. Thanks in anticipation.
