IP address

The link below provides directions on how to do this from a entire WiNT based network (and it'd work in 2000 as well). But your Win98 computers would need to use "winipcfg" instead of "ipconfig /all" -- but ultimately the batches can be used asa guideline and all of this will take some time to setup. But that's one approach without purchasing any other software:

Another (much easier) approach is using MS SMS software (Microsoft Systems Management Server). But that would also need to be setup and configured and costs major bucks. Once it's all configured, you can easily to a query for ip addresses or anything else you want to do through SMS.

One way is to simply open a DOS window on the 98 machine, or from the start-run box on NT type COMMAND. Once you are in this window, ping each machine name you want to find the IP address for. When the network resolves the machine (or host) name, along with the transmission info you will see the ip address of the machine you pinged. If you don't have a printed list of the machines on your network, just explore Network Neighborhood to get them. You can gather all the IP addresses on your networkfrom one machine rather quickly.
