error with win32net, function and unicode

[Mark Hammond]

I'm not sure what this has to do with Unicode.  There are a number of 
things wrong, including use of the "res" param - this must start at zero.

The following works:

wrk_list2,total,res=win32net.NetServerEnum(server,100,win32netcon.SV_TYPE_ALL,domain)

when "server" and "domain" are both None - *not* empty strings.  Start 
with this and move towards the "real" version.

Mark.
