This is called the Introduction forum for a reason - it's here so you can introduce yourself. So I'll pretend you said "Hi!". Welcome to the forums! Take a poke around, and post your question in the correct section next time - probably the Misc forum.

VC++ .Net, VB .Net, C++, Java, etc... the methods are all different for each language. Look into the Win32 API also, if you are running Windows.

It be better if you post your question in a -specific- session, so we can actually provide helpful answers based on your environment / configuration.

Besides that, welcome to the forums

About every programming language I am sure exports functions that allow you to check your hardware, what you want to do though is not that simple, and there really is no one language best suited for the job.

Almost every programming language I know of can interface with a network somehow. You'll find that the easiest thing to find information on is BSD sockets using C though. You could use information in such references with these two key components as examples for you to write it in any other language you're familiar with. I think you should try to find infomation on sockets with your language of choice. If you have no programming experience whatsoever, you have a long way to go my friend... a long way to go.
