Network issues
I was told to move my question here.
"I have a piece of code that gets computers which are currently connected to the network. However, when I disconnect a computer, the name still shows up on the app, and in my network windows folder thing (lol). Even after many refreshes
in my network window, it insists that the computer (which was off) was still connects. When I double click thecomputer's icon, it says that the computer is disconnected... uh, what?
Windows 7 (starter)
Is this some setting that shows offline computers in the network place?"

I think your application is looking at the netbios. Usually the netbios cashes computers' information. Try disabling netbios from the tcp ip v4 settings. At the bottom of the tcp ip version 4 click on advanced and on the wins tab disable the netbios at the
bottom and see how that is working for you. you have to restart probably the machine, and on.
If that doesn't work, then you need to see how exactly is your application working.Please do not forget to select the best answer if it helps you! The Ultimate computer newbie guide since the discovery of spoon feeding!

Well, it turns out that it is a Windows 7 Starter glitch. The app works fine on all other versions of Windows 7, and it works with Vista and XP.
Oh, and...

I wrote the application. C#.
