dos i know all of the commands im trying to connect, do i need something on
my machine turned on or off im not trying to find the ip i already have the
ip i can connect with my other pc (windows 98) to get the netbios chart but
the problem with that is that my other pc doesn't have a find computer
option so there for i can't really connect i don't know why but it doesn't

connecting . i have the ip then when i try to connect using dos in nbtstat
-A the netbios chart doesn't come up with the <20> to see what that pc's
sharing . im also trying to do this on a dial-up toshiba labtop. with win xp
but when i have the ip and type nbtstat -A 123.456.78 and hit enter it

I have read both your post but I do not have a good idea of what your trying to do.


Could you start over with what your school project is meant to accomplish?


If you simply want to connect to a share then open your "run" box and type \\computername\share and a window to that share will pop-up. (replace "computername" with the remote computer's name and "share" with the shared folder's name.)

If you want to see what the computer is sharing then type \\computername and a window of open shares will pop-up.

Note that you can also use the computer's IP address in place of the "computername".




Good Luck


EDIT Have you ran the "networking wizard" on the XP laptop?
