I am trying to use the GetComputerNameEx() function, which should be declared in winbase.h but on my PC it isn't. I use Visual C++ 6.0 Enterprise Edition on W2000 which supports this function.
Even if I declare the function prototype myself the compiler cannot find the function definition and stops with a link error. Is there an upgrade or a service patch that fixes this? Or anything?

Function does not exist in winbase.h
You need to install the platform sdk.
