nbtstat -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx is replaced by somones IP)

The error is " Host cannot be found"

Please help

you should not use nebios protocall with eather system, use tcp/ip for both systems,
you only want to use netbios if you have a very old system that does not support tcp/ip

Would that be "netstat -a" ? Not "nbstat -a" ?
