- Checking Network Computer Status
- Posted by Belgarath on October 7th, 2003
Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way for me to check wether a
Network path computer is accessible (turned on). Currently if I try to
access a computer that is turned off, my thread hangs for a long time.
Maybe something like resolving a computer name to an IP address, and
try pinging it? This seems clumsy and therefor I wondered if perhaps
something is offered in the windows API.
TIA,
Belgarath

Check out the Net* WINAPI functions. You could
for instance check it with NetWkstaGetInfo().
Notice that on WinNT+ the Net API's are UNICODE
so you if you use ANSI mode you need to do some
MultibyteToWideChar() conversions.
