Gettting network identification

[elidag]

Hello all,
I am working on a small program where I need to know the network identity of the computer the app is running on. This will be used on a win2000 server operating system. I have tried various method but not luck yet. Any ideas welcome.
thanks
Dave

hi,
what do you mean with "network identity"
computer name, username, ip-address of one of the nic(s) ???

The program stays on a 2K server( the file stays on a share,but it is launched from a client)
or run on a 2k Server ?

bye

Hi,
I don't know which tools you are using to write window program, but I used Visual Studio 6

char buf[128];
DWORD len=sizeof(buf)-1;
if( !GetUserName( buf, &len ) )// address of name buffer
sprintf( buf, "%d", GetLastError() ) ;
AfxMessageBox(buf);

use

BOOL GetComputerName(
LPTSTR lpBuffer,
LPDWORD lpnSize
);

with the same mechanism

and have a look at

and functions near it
