LAN API

[Allad]

Hi, I'm writing a network application and I need to retrieve informations about network computers : MAC address, Host Name, IP, shared resources... I suppose something suitable exists in Microsoft API but I don't know where. I've tried Windows Networking but it seems a bit limitated. Can someone help? Thanks

Winsock API in MSDN will be a good place to look for the information you require. Z.A

AFAIK and IMHO, Using Winsock api you can only transfer data, you cannot recv any network or lan related data.
