How to make a LAN scanner

[viru]

Hello.
I want to make a LAN scanner. It would search a range of IPs and tell
me which computer has which servers open. It should also tell me abt
the files shared on a particular machine.

I know Socket programming. Can anyone help me out by giving some
directions to it?

Thanking you

Socket programming is not part of the C language.

Personally, I wouldn't bother, considering you can download the
complete source for nmap .
