    Hi Jared

            Thnx for your reply....

             My reqmnt is to wake up a service if itz dead on a remote mach,the service is a Microsoft appln..so i plan to create two vb.net applns (one for the server and one for the remote machines) and i will be provided the ips of all.And i think to start my client appln by the help of  the server one to check the status of the microsoft appln and wakeit up if reqd.(i need a server n client vb.net appln for this ,rite ,plz advise if i can limit it to the server one).

           Another reqmnt is to check the status of routers on remote machines(whether the mach is up or not,almost equivalent to pingin the machine),i will have the ips in this case too,can we design a vb.net appln for this

          Thnx again for your time and lookin forward to your advice.

    By trigger do you mean that you just want it to wake it up or does it need to send it specific information

    There are a lot of choices in .NET for how you can communicate between applications on different machines. The most notable are

    1. Raw Sockets
    2. Remoting
    3. WCF (not quite released yet but people are still using it).

    Depending on what you're doing you'll probably want #1 or #2.
