nbtstat

Could someone help me with the syntax of the nbtstat command from dos?

I've reviewed the info provided when you type in the command:
"Displays protocol stats and current TCP/IP connections using NBT (NetBios over TCP/IP)

The syntax is apparently supposed to be in the form:
NBTSTAT [-a RemoteName] [-A IP Addy] [-c] [-n] [-r] [-R] [-s] [-S] [Interval]

I've tried typing in as follows:
NBTSTAT [-a compname] [-A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]

I left the other options blank, as I'm just trying to get this to work in it's most basic form.
Does it seem like I'm using the right syntax? Or is there something I'm missing/doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated...TIA.


 
Not sure about 2K or XP, but with Win9X you need to be registering with a WINS server or have an LMhosts file locally.
 


<< NBTSTAT [-a compname] [-A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] >>



did you actually type it with the brackets like that?
those are just there to denote that the particular switch is optional

it should look like

nbtstat -a compname
or nbtstat -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx without any brackets

good luck
 
just do "nbtstat -a <name>"
or "nbtstat -a <x.x.x.x>"

"nbtstat -c" also good for check name resolution
"nbtstat -R" to clear you cache.
 
Yeah, I am using 2k...should've mentioned that.

I actually was using the brackets, so I'll work on it without and try the -c and -R options also...

Thanks!
