. . . assuming that he has NetBIOS bound on TCP/IP and (which is a bad idea because it leaves the machine listening to ports 137-139) and is running LMHOSTS. However, if the computer name resolution is taking place at the router (most likely) then he may just need to switch off the ADSL router for a few minutes and restart it, which will probably pick up the new name. -- Regards, Mick [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature] _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
