Guys

Out of curiosity from the DOS Command Prompt in Windows XP I want to go round my network.

Now I can get to c: and j: which is the drive on the network where My network info is kept.

I want to get to the folder that contains all the drawings and stuff as I want to check something out using command prompt rather than windows. Can anyone help me out.

On windows, I don't know how you'd do it. Perhaps with the ping command? ARP would be better since you'd find everything.

nmap -PR -n 192.168.1.0/24 would do it with nmap, substituting your own network address block. This is probably the best but I don't know what the tool is for windows -- nmap is certainly available, "raw sockets" might not be (I'm pretty sure they aren't with SP2 and above).

ping -b 192.168.1.255 using broadcast pings.

Is it already mapped?
