What is the DOS command that will allow you to see who the last person was to log on to a particular Win 98 machine on the network?
Thanks for any help given.

Most any command prompt commands related to networking begin with the word net. Type net /? at the command prompt and look into the different options to see if this option exists (I don't think it does).

Are you trying to catch somebody using your computer? You might delete all the .pwl files and then look to see file creation dates (the first time they logon it will make them create a password and hence, a new .pwl file).

If you have a SERVER in your Network the Admin can enable audit for logon/logoff and you will be have the answer.

Use Win 98 and search for all *.PWL files, the date on these will give you when it was last accessed/used to login and the user name.
