NetServerEnum()is supported on NT, from 3.1 and later. Unfortunately, you cannot use it on 9x. NetServerEnum reference[^] -- ian

well that's absolutely right. So is there anything that i can do to find the list of SQl servers in the network on these OSs. Thanks.

You could try opening up a TCP/IP Socket on the standard SQL Server port (1433) on each machine you find to see if you can connect...or try to open a named pipe to the machine ("\\.\pipe\sql\query" or "\\.\pipe\MSSQL$instancename\sql\query")...if they succeed, it's probably an SQL server ;o)

Yes, there is a way to Enumerate Servers on Win9x. However, I can't get the Code I have to work just right in VB.NET. If someone out there can help on this it would be great!!! The only thing it does is it keeps recusing the Top-Level Network Node (i.e. "Microsoft Windows Network" for me). Here's what I have so far: :~
