My software changes the IP of a computer, but I am coming into conflicts with other devices. Is there a built-in way to check if an IP address is already occupied/taken before setting it?
Thanks

If your network doesn’t use DHCP and IP addresses really do need to be manually assigned, you could try using the
System.Net.NetworkInformation.Pingclass to see if a host on the network responds.
