Here is a little console application I created that can take an ip and subnet mask and give you the network address.
Module Module1 Sub Main() Console.WriteLine("Enter the IP address") Dim sIP As String = Console.ReadLine() Console.WriteLine("Enter Subnet Mask") Dim sSubnetMask As String = Console.ReadLine() Dim ip() As String = sIP.Split(".") Dim subnetmask() As String = sSubnetMask.Split(".") Console.WriteLine("The network address is:") For i As Integer = 0 To 3 If i > 0 Then Console.Write(".") End If Console.Write(ip(i) and subnetmask(i)) Next Console.WriteLine("") Console.ReadLine() End Sub End Module
EDIT: I was really not thinking clearly when I wrote the original. Thanks to TheMoof for pointing this out.
