Are you asking how to make this network change using VB6 code? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'm not exactly sure if its possible, &nbsp;but I think it would be a fairly large security risk to allow this kind of activity to be performed by an application. &nbsp;Even if it can be done, &nbsp;I wouldn't suggest it. &nbsp;The malicious capabilities of that would be endless.... &nbsp;I'd hate to run an app only to have it change my computer name to 'IMGAY'. &nbsp;Explain THAT around the watercooler.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you're simply asking how to perform this change in control panel, do the following<br />
<br />
goto start---&gt;settings---&gt;contr<wbr />ol panel---&gt;System<br />
<br />
click tab marked 'Network Identification'<br />
<br />
click 'Properties' button<br />
<br />
enter Computer name and domain.<br />
<br />
<br />
-cheers.<br />

Wow, &nbsp;I'm suprised to see these API's available to applications. &nbsp;How are the security issues handled?<br />

Changing Computer Name and adding to Domain
