#Network Connects
4 messages in this thread
Is there an API service that retrieves and sets network connections? I
would like to write a VB routine for our company that retrieves the current
network drives (connections), and then lets the user delete/add
connections. This is identical to the Connect/Disconnect Net drive option
in File Manager – except I would like to write a program that I can run
without getting into file manager (besides, I use NDW and it doesn't have a
network connections option).
I looked in my Windows API book, but I didn't see any network related
functions. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

Tom,
The netword functions are documented in the DDK, unfortunately.
However, the good news is that there is a sample in DL5 that uses these
"undocumented" functions to accomplish just what you are after! -=-

Hi Jon,
I'm looking for a NETAPI call to identify available SQL servers on my LAN.
Is it possible to be incorporated into my VB application? Will this work
for Novell or LAN Manager?
Thanks – Rob

Jeff,
Unfortunately, you are going to need to detect which network and
access different DLLs for LanMan and Novell for most purposes. You can get
some basic info about drives, etc. from the generic network driver but
that's about it. -=- Jonathan
