Re: HELP!!! need to get windows Computer name, workgroup via AS/400.

Consider trying to get the source code for Samba.  Samba is a Linux program 
that makes
a linux directory appear to be a WinXX directory on the network.  Since this is 
Linux and
Linux is open source, it should be VERY easy to get the source code for this.  
Of course
it will be written in C.  Or it might of even been the other way around, where 
you could
use a WinXX network share in Linux.  Since it's been a while since I used Samba 
(3+ years)
it's probably grown to the point where it goes either way right now.

If you do get the source code and figure out how to do this, please make give 
us the source
code or make it open source.  If you have any problems finding the source or 
doing the 
conversion give me a yell and I'll give you a hand.  Unfortunately, I have yet 
to write a
TCP/IP program in RPG so that is where I am lacking.

The trick will be to get the source for the NBTSTAT program that comes with
win9x.
I have been searching for the source , or one similar. and see if it could
be ported to the 400.

Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP connections using
NBT(NetBIOS o
er TCP/IP).
NBTSTAT [-a RemoteName] [-A IP address] [-c] [-n]
        [-r] [-R] [-s] [S] [interval] ]

Can I get the PC computer name, and workgroup it is in, from the
AS/400?

I am able to get an IP address for a device description, but if I
could get more info about the PC it would help me greatly.


Thank you.
