How do I find the list of all hostnames on a network? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

I think you normally specifically design DNS servers so that you can't get a list of hostnames on a network. So you have to do a broadcast ping on the network and see who answers.

You can of course also see the local DNS server configuration, if the machines have subdomain names.

You can get the list of computers to which you have a connection by running

netstat -t

If you run that on the computer from which the directory is mounted then you should get a list.
