Try this -- from a dos prompt on the "client" machine go to a dos prompt and type "nbtstat -a <machine name>" and see if it comes up. Also, are you running WINS? If so, make sure you can see those machines from your WINS server. If not, then you're going to have to find some other way to know what IP each machine is on at any given time.
If you get a good response from "nbstat -a" you should be good to go for that particular machine and can type "nbtstat -R" followed by "nbtstat -RR" (case-sensitive) to refresh your netbios cache of machines on your LAN. If you don't get a positive response, as I mentioned above, you'll have to find some way to know what machine is at a given IP. -----Original Message----- From: Rogers' Email [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 14, 2004 11:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help Hi, I am using VNC 3.3.7 in an office environment. The Server App of VNC is installed on each Workstation which are using mostly Windows 2000 and few workstations using WinXP. I have installed the VNC Viewer on the Windows 2000 Server. During the installation of the VNC Server App, I configured each instance appropriately and input the password. I was curious about the fact that I was not required to input the Computer Name ( I have to connect to each workstation using Computer Name because the IP Addresses are Dynamic rather than Static ). After installing the VNC View on the desktop of the Server, I attempted to connect to one of the workstations, using it's Computer Name....I received an error " Failed to get Server Address". What have I missed ? Thank you in advance for your assistance Dale -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
