Win9x question...

[kgleason at ma.ultranet.com]

Wizard,

I'm trying to do a programmed query rather than an interactive one. I want my program to go out onto the local network to see 'who's there'? I can parse through the System.dat registry file if I know the name (perhaps I will have to do this) but was wondering if anyone knew of a faster file that has this.

Kevin

You could try using a shell command such as "net user" to get the machine
name.
This is what it does on my Win2k machine:
===================================================
C:\> net user

User accounts for \\RAGE

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Administrator            Grant_M                    VUSR_RAGE
The command completed successfully.

====================================================
Where "\\RAGE" is the machine name. I don't know if it shows other Windows
machines, as this is the only Win box on the network.
