listing connected devices on my LAN

Hi All
I would like to know if there is a way, other than going though "my network
places" in microsoft windows, to list connected devices ie though a
programming language etc? or this there a rfc protocol that microsoft use?


thanks in advance

Hah - Microsoft and RFC in the same sentence?

Googling
my-network-places enumeration API
suggests "call WNetOpenEnum(), then use WNetEnumResource, and finally
close the enumeration"

You could use a network scanner, set one off on your network and it will
scan the entire subnet and identify any hosts.
