Try "net view".

Try creating a .cmd file:

#######
net view
@pause
#######

copy and paste the two lines inside the ####### into Notepad.
Save the file as "netview.cmd", by entering "netview.cmd" for file name, and
selecting "all files" for Save as type:.
Copy the new file to your desktop, or create then copy a shortcut, to the file,
to your desktop.

Cheers,
Chuck

Like the output in a text file? Try:

#######
net view >c:\netview.txt
notepad c:\netview.txt
#######

Probably, you do not want a command line solution. Try:

Open My Network Places, drill down until you see the workgroup icon, right
click on it and select Create Shortcut - a window will pop up asking whether
you want to put it on the Desktop.

Is that what you were after?

If you are trying this over the internet your ISP may be the problem.

Try this " net view \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" sub "X" for the IP adrress for the
computer you are trying to view. Of course this is command line only.

P.S.
CMD = NET HELP view | MORE
