NET ACCESS BROADBAND ROUTER W/4-PORT SWITCH USERS' MANUAL
9.2 Using the Find Computer Command
If your clients are in different subnets or separated by a router, you will not be able
to use the Find Computer function within Windows by selecting Start | Find |
Computer.
In the Find Computer dialog box, type the IP address of the computer you would
like to find in the Named field. If you choose a computer on a remote network, the
network device will attempt to establish a dial-up connection to the remote LAN
based on settings entered in Broadband Manager. If you have entered the
computer's IP address and host name into your LMHosts file, you may enter the
computer's host name, rather than the IP address in the Named field (refer to
Section 9.3).
If the computer you are attempting to access is on a remote LAN, you
may need to press Find Now more than once while you wait for your
network device to establish a dial-up connection to your remote LAN.
9.3 Using LMHosts
Each computer on the LAN must have a copy of this lookup table. Once
you have mapped the necessary computer or host names and IP
addresses in the LMHosts file, copy this file to the appropriate folder on
each computer on the LAN. This file is located in your x:\Windows
folder, where x: is the drive letter associated with the location of your
windows operating system. Use Windows Explorer, Tools | Find | Files
or Folders option to search for LMHosts.
