VB.NET app - enumerating active network computers

1
Please help

I am new to VB and only very rarely use it to create useful tools.

i am trying to write an app that needs to build a list of computer names into an array for every machine currently on on my network. i do not want to do a directory lookup as this brings up machines curretly off as well. i want the VB equivalent if possible of doing a Net View in dos.

Would anyone be able to help - please.......?

Many thanks

You will probably have to do a NET VIEW and capture the results to proccess them in your program.

Or you could look up the SMB querries message format and try and send out the call yourself, but that seems a bit harder.
