For our example, we are going to find out who is logged on to a computer with a specified IP address (like, say, one found in our firewall logs). The command we'll use is NBTSTAT. NBTSTAT -A 10.100.0.14 will return something like: Local Area Connection: Node IpAddress: [your own IP address] Scope Id: [] NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table Name Type Status --------------------------------------------- REMOTE_PC <00> UNIQUE Registered MYDOMAIN <00> GROUP Registered REMOTE_PC <20> UNIQUE Registered MYDOMAIN <1E> GROUP Registered REMOTE_PC <03> UNIQUE Registered REMOTE_USER <03> UNIQUE Registered MAC Address = 01-02-03-44-5A-F1 We obviously need the information from the line that contains the
