Many PCs are connected to a LAN. PCs can share folders / data to other PC users.
How to identify what all other PCs (or IP addresses) have shared some folders to my PC?
Is there any way to find out this?
Please help me..
If you have windows OS, you can go to "My Network Places", there you will find all the computers that are accessible from your PC.

I've a mac address which belongs to VMware virtual machine in my network(about 4k devices).
The virtual machine is used by VMware workstation on some host in my network.
All i got is a mac address of the virtual machine.
Is there any way to find it(by DOS/bash or similiar) without installing PowerCLI on each device or using arp table details(not allways the virtual machines appears there)?
thanks!
I very much doubt that this is possible since identifying host information from a guest could be a security concern. However, what you could do if using ”Workstation PRO” is to call the rest api from within the guest - if that sort of traffic is allowed.
Maybe it's a silly question or bad idea, but I want to realize it.
I need to share my drives from one host(Linux) to another over Internet and mount on dest host.
Both computers using different ISP's and under NAT(router).
Source host is Linux.
Dest host is Windows\Mac.
1st I tired NFS:
I opened 111 and 2049 on source PC to dest host on router. FS's were exported to dest host.
It didn't work. I guess, NFS is designed only for local networks.
2nd was SAMBA:
In configuration I commented under global section
network/hosts-related lines to make the shares open for all.
Ports 139 and 445 were opened, but no luck. Servers were not pingable during test, I don't know if it's important.
If you have any solutions,comments or suggestions to use other protocols, please reply.
Thanks in advance!
I did not hear about storage share over Internet, because the network flow and strategies are not controlled by you. Too many things are uncontrollable, if you really want to do that, I think you should confirm the below things before you do that:
1. Does the two host have individual Internet IP address? The two host should be pingable interactively.
2. Are the ports opened for the specific port you want to use? and also the firewall(hardware or software) allow the ports to go through. You can verify this by **telnet** command. `telnet host port`
In my opinion, both NFS and SAMBA work in application layer, they can work locally, and through Internet. But when in Internet, many things can not be controlled by ourselves in the network layer. And it is also not safe when used in Internet.
Both host do have individual IP's but not pingable. telnet was working for mentioned hosts in both directions. Yes I understand this could work slow or maybe won't work at all. I guess I need to find some NAS solution, but it would cost quite some money
I connected two laptops using a cross-over cable. My IP Address is 192.168.1.1 and the other IP Address is 192.168.1.16. We both are able to ping each other and the reply is perfect. There is no loss of packets.
The problem is I shared a file and the other system is not able to open my IP Address using the run command. Even I am not able to open my Shared folder by giving in the run (\\192.168.1.1). A dialogue box with the message \\192.168.1.1, The Network Path was not found opens each time we try this.
But I am able to open his shared folder by giving in run command (\\192.168.1.16). I closed all the firewall services in my system. But still my system is not able to respond. Also we are not able to use remote desktop connection.
Can anyone please help me in solving this?
Additional Details: I use Windows XP and the other machine uses Windows 7. We both are in the same work group.
Here are some steps to solve your problem:
Did you set the static IP by yourself or that come automatically?
If yes then please go and set the IP manually
Then share the file and put the permission of that file to Maximum (If you believe your partner)
Then power down the firewall or antivirus for some moments (say 10 minutes)
Now try to connect using the \192.xxx.xxx.xxx method using the Run window
If the 5th step is not working, then try disabling and reenabling the LAN card, then try the 5th step again.
Hope that solved your problem.
Remote Desktop needs to be explicitly enabled. Right click on "My computer", go to properties and look at the remote settings tab.
I advice you to use Radio Access Point to connect both windows 7 and windowsXP. I think this is best choice of troubleshoting jaringan. why?
Because I already do anything to connect both Operating System but can't solve that problem.
I develop software running laptops from various companies. The employees are allowed to bring these laptops home or on holidays. I want to be able to reliably detect whether the laptops are in the office or not. The laptops are connected to the company network via some kind of VPN (though various solutions are used), so I cannot say that if they can access internet, they are in the office. To make this question even more interesting, please notice that a company might have multiple locations.
Edit: I need to detect this on the laptop.
Speculation: One thing you could look at are the IP addresses allocated to the machine. If you run a VPN then at home then there is probably one IP for the Internet connection and one for the VPN.
I think the answer from Rob is close but maybe you should take into account the gateway used by the NIC.
And if you have time enough a tracert to a known server in your office.
That will give you the route and the intermediate NIC's between the laptop and the known server.
You only have to make sure in that case that on the office location the route to the VPN concentrator is different but that should be possible with a clever dns/dhcp setup.
You might try a more specific question on serverfault.com
This cannot be done reliably, because branch offices can be setup up the same as a home network. And from experience, I'm not saying "almost the same as a home network". I mean literally the same, with non-clued managers buying network equipment from the cheapest local shop, and running copies of Windows XP HOME.
I have a Linux virtualbox that I use for development. The stuff I'd like to share to the host operating system resides in /var/www. I tried setting up a samba share, but I can't seem to see my virtualbox on the network. Does anyone know how I'd go about doing this? I searched, but the only thing I've found is virtualbox's shared folders which isn't quite what I'm looking for.
By default VirtualBox networking defaults to an internal NAT implementation, which only allows the guest to access the network and not the other way around.
To access the guest from the host you have to use a different networking mode.
My preferred solution is host-only networking, because the guest appears as a proper networked-machine on the host, without being exposed to the public network.
Bridged networking would also do, but you'd have to secure the guest as if it was a separate machine and there may be networks where having two MAC addresses for a single physical PC is not advised or even allowed.
Why aren't shared folders what you are looking for, anyway?
