WSH and Networking

[Witness]

I have two computers: both are Win95; and I have the Win95 WSH installs.
Question: I want to program a WSH script that will check to see if the
other computer is available across the network, and if so, automatically
connect to the shared network drives. I know about the WshNetwork object,
but I can't figure out how to find the other computer. Can anyone help?

If your net is an TCP/IP net, try a simple ping...

How do you ping using the script? (I'm pretty new to scripting.)

This code:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Function IsThere(dest)
IsThere=False

' Do one small, hidden ping

shell.Run "ping -l 1 -n 1 "+dest+" > ping-result",0,True

' Read result

Dim file
Set file=fileSystem.GetFile("ping-result").OpenAsTextStream
For i=1 To 4:line=file.ReadLine:Next
file.Close

' Delete file

Set file=fileSystem.GetFile("ping-result")
file.Delete
Set file=Nothing

If Left(line,5)="Reply" Then IsThere=True
End Function
