I'm currently using the following code to read the stdout stream of the NET command and using the parameter 'view' (which lists all computers in the current domain.) My question is, what is the best approach to finding the connected computers on the LAN. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks. Function & Example: (working code) #include <Array.au3> #include <Constants.au3> TCPStartup() Local $aArray = _GetNetView() _ArrayDisplay($aArray) TCPShutdown() Func _GetNetView() ; Based on the idea by AoRaToS: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/78672-lan-chatting-help-needed/page__view__findpost__p__568770 Local $aError[1][2] = [[0, 2]], $iPID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c net view', '', @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD), $sOutput = '' While 1 $sOutput &= StdoutRead($iPID) If @error Then ExitLoop EndIf WEnd Local $aArray = StringRegExp($sOutput, '([0-9a-zA-Z-]*)', 3) If @error Then Return SetError(@error, 0, $aError) EndIf Local $aReturn[UBound($aArray, 1) + 1][2] = [[UBound($aArray, 1), 2]] For $i = 0 To $aReturn[0][0] - 1 $aReturn[$i + 1][0] = StringStripWS($aArray[$i], 3) $aReturn[$i + 1][1] = TCPNameToIP($aReturn[$i + 1][0]) Next Return $aReturn EndFunc ;==>_GetNetView
