>Lots of ways; but it depends on what exactly you're trying to determine - for example, are you trying to see if the station is currently logged into any network, or a particular network, or if a particular network resource has been (or can be) attached, or if the station -can- log into a network (IOW if the necessary client software is present to operate on a network, even if not logged in presently), or something else?


What I'm doing is creating a utility that shows files in use on a workstation or server. If the user is connected to a network, I want to show available servers, just like network neighborhood does. If not, I want to show the computer name.

I'm thinking that I can use WNetEnumResource and if it returns an error code, assume that I'm not connected and show the computer name. If it doesn't, show the servers.

Sound reasonable?
