Hi,

I need to connect to a number of external computers via RAS.
Given a RAS phone book entry I want to use InternetDial() to
establish the connection. Furthermore I have IP addresses
of the computers in the local network.
Each of the computers has some shares I need to create
mirrors from.

I'm quite new to RAS and Networking so I have some (maybe
trivial?) questions:

1) How can I enumerate existing shares on each of the computers?

2) Can I access files on the computers via UNC paths given the IP
and a share-name? (like \\X.X.X.X\MyShare\SomeDir\test.txt)

3) Is it possible to determine the Windows version running on
each of the computers?

thanks for any idea,
Nick
