I think that API GetDriveType() & DRIVE_REMOTE is you
answer, but not sure, anyway try it:

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
   for ( char i='A'; i<='Z'; i++ )
   {
      AnsiString Drive = AnsiString( i ) + ":";
      int gdt = GetDriveType( Drive.c_str() );

      if ( gdt > 1 )
      {
         AnsiString Text;
         switch ( gdt )
         {
            case DRIVE_REMOVABLE :
             Text = " REMOVABLE";
             break;

            case DRIVE_FIXED :
            Text = " FIXED";
            break;

            case DRIVE_REMOTE :
            Text = " REMOTE (NETWORK)";
            break;

            case DRIVE_CDROM :
            Text = " CD-ROM";
            break;

            case DRIVE_RAMDISK :
            Text = " RAMDISK";
            break;
      }
      Memo1->Lines->Add( Drive + Text );
    }
  }
}
