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.

Can anyone help? 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. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss at blu.org http://www.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
