Net view Explain

Hi there,

I have a question on net view.

In my office network, we have four different subnet. 10.165.3.x , 10.165.16.x, 10.165.17.x and 10.165.19.x.

My machine is on 10.165.19.x subnet. and DNS/DC is on 10.165.16.x.

When i check the net view. I can't see the machine from 10.165.17.x subnet.

Do you know the reason why is that?

Regards,
Koala

like oBdA said, if you don't have WINS running on a server the net view cmd will not work properly. another issue could be your DNS server is not properly configured at 10.165.16.x

wantabe2,
DNS is not at all involved in this. The "classic" Network Neighborhood is completely NetBIOS based. You could actually run a complete NT4 domain without DNS.
