Network monitor

Hi folks!
A couple of years ago I made a VB6 program that listed all workstations on a local network and with that list I could check each one for information like who was logged in, services running and so on.

I'm now trying to do something like that again with vb.net but can't figure out how. Last time I was using api calls. Is that still the case or is there a better way??

Any pointers that will lead me in the right direction will be helpful

Thanks

VB.net is not a nice way to go for monitoring networks. Well, in my opinion anyway. I have one, which is fairly innovative - to be found at www.startingqbasic.co.uk/osm . Sign up, and away you go.
