how can i find which computer an ip address belongs to on my local area network? I know it's probably simple, but I can't seem to remember (if I ever knew) how to do it. My articles www.stillwaterexpress.com BlackDice

ping -a or nslookup Regards, Brian Dela :-) Now Bloging![^]

I tried that and it doesn't seem to show me anything different than using ping without the -a switch. I tried it on an ip that I already know the computername for also, and it shows me nothing different. My articles www.stillwaterexpress.com BlackDice

nslookup doesn't seem to work for computers on our local network. My computer ip on my LAN isn't the same as that ip on the internet. My articles www.stillwaterexpress.com BlackDice
