Hello. I am new to these forums so if this in the wrong place, I appologise.
My problem is as follows: I am trying to view my friends pc via nbstat in cmd which i have been told shows certain propertise of his pc. I can carry out this procedure to computers within my network easily but when I try and go bigger, to even using the loop back ip of 127.0.0.1 i get this C:\>nbtstat -A 127.0.0.1 Wireless Network Connection: Node IpAddress: [192.168.1.136] Scope Id: [] Host not found. I have opened the port 139 on both my windows firewall and my router but it still wont connect. Any help would be much apprechiated. I have enabled both Messenger and TC/IP sercives.

Re: Cannot use nbtstat
Well, I see the same thing, what are you trying to see with that command? The description of the option you're using...
-A (Adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its IP address. Quote:

Re: Cannot use nbtstat
Yes thats basically what im trying to do, find the remote machines name table. When it says remote machine, does it only mean a PC on your LAN or does it mean any PC in the world?

Re: Cannot use nbtstat
Basically when run successfully it will display a name table of the computer and will tell you certain information. My friend has asked me to check if a certain row is present, because if it is, it means anyone can connect to his shared files.
Would you like to offer any help? |

Re: Cannot use nbtstat
I don't think NBTSTAT is really the tool for the job. Can you connect to his computer at all.
