Netbios help

[gloomer]

I have a windows 98 that I nmapped. Port 139 is wide open.

I tried to nbtstat it in cmd from my windows xp. And since the windows 98 is in my network, I use it's internal address 192.168.0.104

But whenever i go nbtstat -a 192.168.0.104 it always changes and scans my computer which is 192.168.0.102.

Why does it do this? I'm specifying the windows 98 not mine.

How is this happening.

I pinged 192.168.0.104 without difficulty.

When i type in the commands correctly it says.

Local Area Connection:

Node Ipaddress: [192.168.0.102] Scope ID []

And then it shows the tables of my computer.

I have disabled netbios on my windows xp. Would that be the problem? I'm not sure if I really want to enable that for this very reason.

But If I have to enable it for this I will. I'm just wondering if it's screwing with this.

It's -A not -a

When you do -a as the option you have to specify the computer name but you won't be able to do that on XP if you disable netBIOS.

So now you have to use nbtstat -A 192.168.0.104

Just type nbtstat /? for more info.
