Displaying Network Information (WinNet Tool)


The WinNet tool scans your local network and displays the names of Windows network resources (domains, hosts, or shared resources). Note that resources on the Windows network use NetBEUI (Windows NetBIOS) names which may or may not correspond to Internet host or domain names. You can use the list box to select the items for which you want to scan. In addition, you can enter the NetBEUI name of a Windows resource on your network and view information about that resource.

  1. From the Tools menu, select Net Tools, and click the WinNet tab.
  2. In the Network Items list box, select the type of network items that you want to display from the list box. You can select from the following item types:

    networks - show all networks (groups of domains)

    domains - show all domains (groups of servers)

    servers - show all computers running Windows networking

    shares - show all shared devices, such as printers

    all - show all the above types of items

  3. Click the Start button.

    WhatsUp Gold scans your local network and displays the name and address of the specified items.

    During the scan, the Start button toggles to Stop. You can click Stop at any time to stop the scan. Click Clear to erase the results from the display window.
