[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 529372, member: 256551"] Hi, does anyone know the answer to this please. I have a PC running Win2000 connected to a power PC via ethernet. Both system have fixed IP addresses. There is no sever etc, they are connected via a network hub. When I ping the PowerPC I can use a name 'MyPowerPC' and this is automatically equated to an IP address. However, I have just rehosted the PC software to a Laptop, and the software as it written at the moment needs this same name to IP address conversion. Does anyone know how/where to make this happen? Cheers Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
