SYMPTOMS
========
In real mode, the command "net view /domain: <domainname>" fails and you
receive the following error message:
Error 6118: The computer(s) sharing resources in this workgroup cannot be
located. The computer(s) might have been restarted. Wait a few minutes, and
then try again. If the problem persists, make sure your network-adapter
settings are correct.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs because the Basic redirector included in Net.exe does not
support viewing LAN Manager and Windows NT domains.
RESOLUTION
==========
Because the Basic redirector does support the viewing of workgroups, the command
"net view /domain" functions in an MS-DOS Command window.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Note that the /DOMAIN (or abbreviated /D) switch is not documented in online
Help for the NET VIEW command. If you type "net view /?" this switch is not
listed.
