>>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?

You might want to take a look at the Shell Automation object Shell.Application, using the BrowseForFolder() method, which can retrieve the names of computers anchored from the Network Neightborhood, and the Windows Scipting Host AUtomation object Wscript.Network
