Hmmm..
arp -n on my router shows me all the hosts on my two subnets.
Can I conclude that in a network with two subnets and with windows clients who are
sharing,
the router will always shows the ip's of all the machines?
This seems just too easy. I have spent many hours trying to figure out how
to reliably find all the netbios clients on my two small home networks
so linux clients can mount them.
The other way was with a wins server, which works, but can be a nuisance.
This looks like the really easy way.
