I'm trying to build a list of NetBIOS names all of the computers connected
to my LAN. In user-level land, I would call WNetOpenEnum to start an
enumeration of network, then I could call WNetEnumResource to continue an
enumeration of these network resources, then I could just check if the
resource was a machine and I could save the name.

I have no idea where to begin in driver land to accomplish this task. Could
somebody give some direction?

Thank you,

1. Why would you ever want to do so?

2. You could write an NDIS protocol (or intermediate) driver and
listen for NetBIOS packets and/or query NetBIOS names. (Remember that
NetBIOS is available on top of TCP as well as NetBEUI.)

3. Write a user-mode application (or service) that builds the list and
passes it down to your driver via IOCTL.

Nearly impossible. Will require major digging into the undocumented IOCTLs
to NetBT.sys.

So, it is by far better to do name resolution in user mode, and only work
with IP addresses in the kernel.
