Which users are connected

Sometimes when I shut down or restart one of my Win98 boxes, I get a message
saying a certain number of users are connected to the computer. Thing is,
I'm on a very small home network and sometimes the stated number exceeds the
number of boxes on my network.

Is there a way in Windows 98 to see which computers are currently connected,
and which have open files (and hopefully which files it's got open)?

Thanks in advance,

Tweek.

Net Watcher (%WinDir%\NETWATCH.EXE)

Nah, just do a Find on "NetWatch.exe". You should have it. If not, it should be
in your Win98 cab files.

To install Net Watcher, go to Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs |
Windows Setup | System Tools.

To run it, either click Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools
| Net Watcher or click Start | Run, type "netwatch" in the box, and
click OK.
