Hi,

I've tried to create a little Net-Watcher for (NetBeui) LAN-Connections.

The Win32api.help says something about WNet-functions...but I'm unable
to use these functions. Everytime I tried to compile I got errors or a
nonfunctional Code. :(
Example
the function
WNetGetConnection(localsizename:lptstr,remotesizename:lptstr,buffersize:lpdword):
DWORD
doesn't accept a pointer to a dword as the buffersize-argument. Delphi
means incompatible types..
If I use instead of this an integer value, compilation is possible, but
the executable causes errors.

Does anyone can explain me how I can use this functions or better which
functions or components I should use for checking of
Netbeui-Connections.

Show us (some of) the source. Then it's easier to answer your question...:-)
You can also just mail the source to me and I'll see what I can do!

The Delphi declaration of Win32 functions differ from that used in the Win32
helpfile, since the Win32 help file was written for C++. If you are useing
Delphi 3, use the code completion feature after you typed the win32 function to
see how the parameters of of the funtion is declared. According to my D3 editor
your function is declared as :

WNetGetConnection(lpLocalName:PChar, lpRemoteName:PChar, var lpnLength:integer)
