Jeff,
Cheers, that was almost exactly what I wanted without going through the API pain. I have tried it using the WinSock Control in VB, but if the machine is not on the network, the control takes about 20 seconds to error with no way of changing the timeout.
As I am only trying to populate a tree view with the machines that are available, 20 seconds per machine that
is not available takes rather a long time.
Cheers again,
Chris Dukes
