I searched something myself, here's what I found on one site:

This will only work if you are connected to an active directory. Add
a reference to system.directoryservices. Replace NetworkName with your
network name.

Dim de As New System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://NetworkName")
Dim ds As New System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher(de)
Dim r As System.DirectoryServices.SearchResult
ds.Filter = "(objectClass=computer)"
Try
For Each r In ds.FindAll
Dim s As String
Console.WriteLine(r.GetDirectoryEntry.Name.ToString)
Next
Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLine(e.ToString)
End Try

BUT I think that this will list all connected and disconnected computers in active directory.
