System.GetLANInfo

table System.GetLANInfo (

)

Example 1

LAN_info = System.GetLANInfo();

Gets the system's LAN information and stores it in a table called "LAN_info." If you wanted the network domain the user was logged into, you could access it by referencing LAN_info.Domain.

Example 2

lan = System.GetLANInfo();
lan_exist = true;
for j in pairs(lan) do
    if lan[j] == "Unknown" then
        lan_exist = false;
    end
end

if lan_exist then
    Dialog.Message("", "You are connected to a LAN");
else
    Dialog.Message("", "You are not connected to a LAN");
end

Determines whether or not the user is connected to a LAN and displays the result in a dialog message.

Note: This example works in Windows 98 First Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Windows 95 and Windows NT do not fit this model. To detect a LAN connection in all operating systems, first detect the user's OS, and the launch an appropriate detection script.
