Jonathan:
Thanks for the info but what about question 2 you did not give a reply
2. Also, how do I relate a machine name to the current ip address of each
workstation? We are using DHCP because static ip would be too hard to
manage.
This is what I need.
For example Irvin High School Attendance work station
ip 10.8.1.35 dhcp how do I name this station so I can connect even if the ip
changes.
