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.
