Need to find computer names on LAN

Hello

I have set up a domain at my house on a windows 2003 domain controller.  I have 6 other computers running XP attached to this domain controller through a cisco switch, able to ping back and forth to each pc from any pc on domain

Here is my question.  Is there a dos command that I can run on any computer that will show me the individual computer names of all the PC's attached to the domain?

No,

Let's pretend we know absolutely nothing about any of the other computers, as well as not know any IP Addresses included.

or net view /domain:<domain name>

That doesn't work.  Already tried this with multiple combinations over and over.

Well unfortunately it doesn't work for  me., so do you have any more ideas?  Is there another command or sequence of commands that I can try to accomplish my goal?

From any pc, I want to be able to run a command or a few commands to determine the names of the computers on my domain.  This cannot be impossible.

It seems that just running net view by itself will show the computers attached to the domain.  However, I didn't mention that I was looking for the individual IP addresses of all the PC's attached to the domain as well - all of this with a command or set of commands.  I appologize for not being clear.

No Wins server is setup

Sorry for extending the question RPPreacher, your right it is bad form, but you don't have to add comments like-  ...oh and the color of the mouse...  --> That is bad form as well.  Besides I did appologize.

sirbounty - I will test this out as soon as I can.  Thanks.

Tried it again, and it just pops up with a DOS screen and quickly goes away.  I will keep playing around with this file to see if I can get it right.
