wscript and netstumbler

sh00wan · 03-04-2004

OK don't flame me...

I'm trying to write a script that uses the following code

Dim winsock, WScript

set winsock = Wscript.createobject("MSWINSOCK.Winsock", "winsock_")
winsock.Remotehost = "127.0.0.1"
winsock.RemotePort = 695

more script..........bla....bla...bla

Heres the problem, If I execute the the vbscript by dubble clicking on it it runs fine, but if I try to have netstumbler call it I get an error "Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object required: 'Wscript'"

help a newbie out

PS I have .NET 2003 with WSH installed

You don't need to say

WScript.CreateObject

You can just say

CreateObject

When you double click a vbs file a program called wscript.exe runs it, that's why it works when you double click it, because you are simply asking WScript namespace to call CreateObject.

In NS WScript namespace doesn't exist. But you don't need it.

Just curious, why the second argument "winsock_". Second argument is usually the name of the remote computer you wish to create the instance on. Is this your intention? Otherwise you don't need the second arg either..

just a guess...
NS probably calls the script using cscript and so the wscript object wouldn't exist. In most situations cscript and wscript are pretty much the same.
