PCTips Box

I’m making this how to for those people that want to see the computers from their network but are annoyed by Windows Xp.

Why are they annoyed? When you try to access a workgroup to see it’s computers, windows explorer freezes for a few seconds while searching for computers, that sucks.
Using Command Prompt you can overcome fast and easy this problem.

1.Click Start and then click Run, a box will open.
2. Type in the box: CMD and command prompt will open.
3. Type in the command prompt box: net view
4. A list of computers in the workgroup will be shown.

NOTE: Keep in mind that computers behind a firewall will not appear in the list.
