all Net View lets you do is veiw the browser list it does not let you see which computer is maintaining that list. &nbsp;wayneb is right if you have the NT resource Kit the utilities for browsers are browmon.exe and browstat.exe &nbsp;browmon is menu driven and browstat is command line. &nbsp;the browstat command you would use is:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;browstat gm &lt;transport&gt; &lt;domain&gt;<br />
<br />
note: transport is one of your installed protocols<br />

There is a port of the &quot;samba&quot; unix stuff to windows. It includes<br />
a program called smbclient which will give you the masrer<br />
browser. However, I don't seem to have the link to this port...<br />

I've done this before, but I can't remember the command!<br />
<br />
I'm sure I used NET somehow (VIEW? &nbsp;USE?) &nbsp;I believe it was NET VIEW /Wrkgrp and then some flag to list the browser elections.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
