How to Find Network Machine names and the user logged in that machine?

I have to find the machine names and the user names of those logged in to the machines.

  I have Updated My answer please see my answer !!!!

 NetworkBrowser nb = new NetworkBrowser();
 IPHostEntry ip = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName());
 foreach (string pc in nb.getNetworkComputers())
 {
      cmbNetworkComputers.Items.Add(pc);
 }
 cmbNetworkComputers.SelectedIndex = 0;

The above code retrieves the machine names, how can I get the user names?

See the answer at - How get list of local network computers? - for pointers on how to get a list of computers.

When you have the list you can use the WMI to query the computers for logged on users.

string comp = "Computer";
ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions();
//user (domain or local) with sufficient privileges to access the remote system through WMI
options.Username = "Usersname"; 
options.Password = "Password";
ManagementScope s = new ManagementScope(string.Format(@"\\{0}\root\cimv2", comp), options);

ManagementPath p = new ManagementPath(string.Format("Win32_ComputerSystem.Name='{0}'", comp));

using(ManagementObject cs = new ManagementObject (s, p, null ))
{
    cs.Get();
    Console.WriteLine(cs["UserName"]);
}
