    This *might* help ...
    http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/network/netgetjoininformation.htm ... though it
    is an inquiry-type API, not a notification-type call. IOW, your app would
    have to look specifically for the machine to obtain its status.

: Hi,
:
: I am sure this is a solvable problem, but I don't know quite how to
: get there. What I am trying to do is get notification when a computer
: on my network is turned on. Eventually I need to get this PC's network
: name - but I can easily achieve that, it the notification that the PC
: has joined the network.
:
: Usually I can put my completed app on a server (2000 or above), but I
: can't guarantee this. All Pc's will be running WinXP Pro. ideally I
: don't want to flood the network with pings to achieve this. I won't
: know when a PC is going to be turned on, or what IP address it will
: have; also the user will probably not log on, the PC will just sit at
: the logon screen.
:
: If I can get away with not installing something on the client PC's I
: would prefer it, but this is not set in stone.
:
: Thanks for any help!
