Dear all ,

..Thanks

Play around with nmap for a while.

This should wet your whistle for now...

Code:

nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24

NOTE: Replace 192.168.0.0/24 with your network range. For example, 192.168.1.0/24 or 10.16.1.0/24

aha , but when I wrote it , the shell replys
-bash : nmap: command not found

why ?

Obviously nmap isn't installed. Go install it.

thank you , i installed it ,every thing is okay now , I saw the other devices , but how can see the shared files provided from any one of them , and how can i access them for copy or edit ?

Are they Windows or linux machines and how are the files "shared"? Start posting more info or you won't get very helpful answers.

sorry, yes the files are WindowsXp shared files and the IP of this device appeared in the nmap list. I meant by SHARED files , that files that appeared in My Network devices and Workgroup in Windows system .
