In my previous post,I described tweaking up My Network Places to make it run faster.
This was a GUI tool to view other networked computers,is there any way to do the same from command prompt?
Of course there is and is very cool.The in-built net utility has many versatile uses and checking out shared resources on other machines is just one of them
To use it :
1.Open command prompt – Start>Run>cmd
2.Type net view \ to connect to it and check out the shared resources on that box.
I have a box called AVP-XP which has a logs folder that are shared across the LAN,so I type:
net view \AVP-XP
This will display all folders and other objects that are network shared.
There are many other uses of net command,feel free to try them out.They can be a real time savers.
Hope this has been an informative post.
Peace.
