How to find information about a computer in a Workgroup
I'm in a Workgroup with other computers. How can I find information about other computers in the same Workgroup?
Context
Windows
Solution
- Start up the command prompt (Go to Start > Run, type in cmd and click OK).
- In the command prompt type in:
nbtstat -a "computer name"
This command should return the MAC address of the computer that uses this NetBIOS name.
The output looks like this:
Wireless Network Connection 2: Node IpAddress: [18.152.5.66] Scope Id: []
NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table Name Type Status --------------------------------------------- PCS-GX280 <20> UNIQUE Registered PCS-GX280 <00> UNIQUE Registered WORKGROUP <00> GROUP Registered MAC Address = 00-11-43-1D-94-92
