"There are no entries on the list"

Symptom: when using net view \\remotecomputer command, you may receive
"There are no entries on the list". And you may have a problem to access the
remote computer.

Resolution: 1) If there are no file or print shares on the computer, the net
view command displays a "There are no entries in the list" message. So, make
sure there are file or print shares on the computer. Or to use net share
command to check sharing status.
2) Make sure no firewall running because the firewall may block sharing.
3) Make sure client for ms network is enabled.
