That depends on what version of FP/VFP you're using and what network you're on.

There are a couple good third party libraries to check out, GPLib and NetLib, for functions to get network connection information. Also of course there are Win API functions you can call, but I don't know what they are without looking them up.

I've always either used GPLib, or relied on environment variables set by login scripts (which I knew in advance for a particular network's login scripts.)
