 Populate list box of networked PC's

Please help I'm getting desperate (working for 2 days on this with no
result)
I have 2 needs using A2k or AXP
1. I need to populate a list box with all the PC's that are connected to the
network

2. I then need to pass one of the list box entries (probably its network
name) to do a file search for all executables, dlls & ocx's and append to a
table.

Please if you can help I would really appreciate it.

Check out the WshNetwork object in the WScript library; failing that the
ScriptHost object itself gives access to all NT directories.

This is essentially a job for recursive calls to the normal Dir() function.
