Net view should list all sharing computers. If the computer is not in the
list, run net share. Do you receive any errors?

Default Pc not showing in Network

I tried running net view, it gave me the list of network computer, but this
is not the full list, this is the same list as Satrt - Network give the
devices connected on the network.
Net Share, i run that command from a PC which is showing up on network and
the other which is not showing up on the network. Both gave me the same
result.
Errors : where do u want me to see the errors, i dont get any errors

Thanks

Are the computers that are not showing up actually sharing anything?

Normally, domain environments don't share between workstations, but
rather all workstations will be able to see the shared resources on
the servers (Domain controller, Exchange server, file server, etc) but
normally don't see each other.

Why are you trying to get the workstations to see each other? Are
there some unique resources that need to be accessed by all users?

Maybe if you could describe your network in a little more detail it
would help.

Thanks for you r response, actually i am trying to get hold of all the
software and hardware inventory of my domain pcs, i am using a software which
scans my domain pcs showing in Network and gives me all of this information.
I can see few Pcs in that list but not all, so i can't get the inventory of
all my PCs.
We have a domain setup and all the pcs user connect t our domain and all the
users have firewall enabled and Symantec Endpoint enable with network threat
enable
thanks

I agree with Dale "domain environments don't share between workstations".
That will make a lot traffics. Some inventory software may use SNMP instead
of sharing all workstations.

If you do want to see all computers' list, you may want to check WINS
settings or NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

What software?
Describe your domain in a bit more detail--i.e. servers, workstations,
switches, IP structure, etc. That will help others help you. So far
your descriptions have been very vague.
I've used a couple of software products to scan networks and collect
data, but to get into each PC on a network and extract data about
programs, files, hardware, etc. usually requires software running on
each PC to do the job properly--especially given the need for security
these days.

I think we just simply need more details to help you out. If you are
unable or unwilling to provide them, then help may not be available.
