getting host name and mounting drives 1

[oinky]

Hi in visual c++, how do you find out the hostname of the machine that the code is running on? Also is there a way to mount a network drive through c++? i am on an NT4 sp6a system. Thanks in advance.

BOOL GetComputerName( LPTSTR, LPDWORD)

Are you asking about mapping the drive?

NET_API_STATUS NetUseAdd (
LPWSTR UncServerName,
DWORD Level,
LPBYTE Buf,
LPDWORD ParmError
);

Hope this helps
