How to use NetServerEnum from NetApi32.dll

Can someone show me how to retrieve all the LAN computer names on a network using NetServerEnum from the NetApi32.dll? Here is where I saw information about it, but I don't understand C.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/ListNetworkComputers.aspx

I ported the C# example over to blitzmax, but i dont get any machines listed. Maybe youl have better luck?

	Print ":" + s

Thanks grable!

It works, but only returns the first letter of each computer name.

Hmm.. try replacing the FromCString() on this line with a FromWString(), it might be unicode.

list[i] = String.FromCString( Byte Ptr Int Ptr(tmp)[1])

I get nothing on the list, so i am unable to test it further, sorry :(

That did it!

Thanks!

No problem dude, glad it worked for you =)
