Actually, it shows machines logged into the same domain or workgroup, they do not necessarily have to have any shared resources. From what (little) I know about Windows networking, this data is queried from the group's browsemaster, who is in charge of knowing the names and locations of all machines logged on to the domain or workgroup. It's still a bit of a mystery to me how this list is compiled, because I have run into some situations where machines I thought should be on the list were not. If you or anybody knows where this stuff is detailed, please enlighten me, I've searched several times.

>You can get this information via the API - VFP 6 has the ANETGETRESOURCE()

Woops- you mean ANETRESOURCE().

>You may want to look into ADSI as well.

ADSI is an easy way to get a list of users and machines that a domain or worksgroup knows about, but AFAIK, won't tell you which ones are currently logged in.


Vijayaraman- if you are interested in an ADSI solution to this, do a search here on ADSI- I have posted several code snippets that might be of interest to you.
