He would need to be using remote desktop connected to the remote machine for that to work. IPCONFIG will only return the address of the workstation he/she is sat at.

If you know the name of the workstation you are connecting to then you can ping the name and the IP address will be returned.

I might add that if you use the NSLOOKUP command at the command line, e.g.

nslookup www.cnn.com

you will get the IP address, or addresses used by a host.

since you have not done this connection yourself, or you would have known already.

Go talk to your friendly Admin.

I was trying to offer a solution to someone that I don't think understands the commands as well as someone who has used them forever!

It sounds like he understands PING so PING was my solution to him.
