Hello,

What command do I use to browse a network share?

I know i can use NET USE to mount a share as volume but is there a way I can just browse as I do in the network neighborhood?

I've tried using CD but it doesn't work,maybe I have the syntax wrong.

Thanks
 
The 'network neighborhood' may only update on a service that may or may not be running, for a set amount of time...like every 15mins or something...I'm sure you can force it w/ a refresh? But am not certain. WINS...netBIOS....LANMan...broadcast... - these seem important somehow. See your XP help on 'local area connections overview' section.

DOS commands my fallible memory:

use the commands

'net share' command line

also (use any command w/ a '/?' for quick info/usage)

'net use' <drive letter to be used>: \\computer\share
net use t: \\computer\share

a '/d' disconnects it

and

'net view \\computer' will give you shares

and just a 'net view' should list the computers on the network

Thanks,

excellent links.

When using net use to login with a username and password then they should be in speech marks right?

NET USE \\Computername\Share "password"/USER:"username"


Also the net view commande.Does it only show the computers in your domain or workgroup or what?

Is there a way to direct it to a specific domain?

Thanks again.
