Get the machine name of the mapped drive C++
-
Hi..... I have a small problem in getting the hostname of the mapped drive. I have mapped a shared folder of a machine in network on my system. I have to get the name of the machine from the mapped drive. I was not able to find any proper function for that. Please do let me know if there is some function or some way to do it, because in my program i have to get the name of the machine.Is there a way out? Please do help me out. Thnx in advance...

Have you tried

I did some digging, and the following code worked for me:
TCHAR szBuf \[MAX\_PATH\]; DWORD dwSize = MAX\_PATH; DWORD dw = WNetGetConnection (\_T("p:"), szBuf, &dwSize);It gave me "\\myserveraddress\sharename" in szBuf. Iain.

That was one of the first results in google, but it's using .net namespace functionality, and mapping drives. So almost the exact opposite of what he needs. Phew, regained my sense of superiority after replying to the wrong person earlier! Iain.
