Given a path, how can i find out its host?

Question

How can I implement this function:

GetHost("C:\MyFolder"); //Local
GetHost("D:\MyFolder"); //Local
GetHost("\\FileServer1\MyFolder"); //FileServer1
GetHost("Y:\MyFolder"); //FileServer1
GetHost("\\LocalSharedFolder\MyOtherFolder"); //Local
GetHost("\\SpecialSharedFolder\YetAnotherFolder"); //FileServer2

Edit1:
So far i've tried juggling DirectoryInfo, DriveInfo, ManagementClass

I believe this will help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19404433/how-to-get-a-fully-qualified-unc-path — LiranNis, May 28 '15 at 20:02

GetDriveType can tell me if the disk is local or not in case of "Y://". WNetGetConnection can point me the network path for it, on the case of \\LocaSharedFolder, where I can extract its host name...
