To determine if the problem is with NetBIOS configuration or with NetView, try issuing a "net view" command at the DOS prompt. The syntax is: C:\> net view \\192.168.1.63 Replace the IP address with the remote computer you are attempting to scan. Here are the results I get for a computer on our network: Shared resources at \\192.168.1.63 Development Share name Type Used as Comment -------------------------------------------- shared Disk The command completed successfully. This command uses the same built-in Windows API's that Rawlogic's NetView uses. If this DOS command doesn't work for you, the problem is with your Network configuration. Please post any error messages that you receive, after you've verified that you can successfully ping the remote computer. In addition, please indicate which version of Windows each machine is running and give some details on how the two computers are networked.
