Simon,
This is an except from a Windows Management Instrumentation class I have.

define class SesWMI as session
oWMI = .NULL.

function Init
local llretval
llretval = .T.
With THIS
	.oWMI = getobject('winmgmts:')
	llretval = vartype(.oWMI) = "O"
Endwith
return llretval
endfunc

function Destroy
THIS.oWMI = .NULL.
endfunc

function Release
release THIS
endfunc

function ListNetworkClients
local locolcli, locli
clear
With THIS
	locolcli = .oWMI.InstancesOf('Win32_NetworkClient')
	for each locli in locolcli
		? locli.Name, locli.Status
	endfor
Endwith
endfunc

enddefine

This works on Windows NT/2000/XP. Since the WMI taps into the underlying WinAPI, you may be able to use this as a generic solution.

Caveat: Haven't tested this with the Novell client loaded. It does work with the MS Client for Netware loaded.

HTH.
