Network shared folder access

Hi!
My computer has Windows 98 and it is member of a Workgroup (NOT a domain, there is no server for the network). OK. So I have a folder shared on my computer. I would like to write a program that can tel me what other computers on the network are currently logged on to my shared folder, at a certain moment.
Can anybody give me any idea on how to do this? Is this possible using some API calls?

I'm thinking of using this function but I don't know how:...
Private Declare Function NetConnectionEnum Lib "netapi32.dll" _
  (ByVal servername As Long, _
   ByVal qualifier As Long, _
   ByVal level As Long, _
   bufptr As Long, _
   ByVal prefmaxlen As Long, _
   entriesread As Long, _
   totalentries As Long, _
   resume_handle As Long) As Long

The problen is that i don't know how to use it. It has something to do with pointers and stuff that I'm not soo familiar with. One more thing: this function is intended to be used mainly under Win2000/NT. It is supported by Win98, but with some changes regarding the declaration and the asociated "Connection_Info_1" type...
  In MSDN, the examples regarding the use of this function are for C++. Nothing for VB6 programmers... This is realy frustrating !!!

Anyone who can help me with this ?!? Please! Thanks!

Hope I've been helpful,
Bogdan Muresan.
