Computer name in Net command
#3
Hi Gintaras,
Thanks for the tcp help. I will have to play more with the TcpSocket functions.
This may be another dead-end question but just thought I would run it by you.
The ip address that ipconfig returns is different than the one that GetIpAddress returns for a given computer name on certain computers in my system..just a few.
What's also weird is that these are the computers that won't respond to the net command if I just give a computer name instead of computer address.
Is there any reason why the computer's ipconfig ip address would be different than the one that GetIpAddress returns.
I tracked down the ip address that GetIpAddress returns and it is given to another computer in the system on a different domain (I think it is a different domain it is the same node (i.e. ip address up to the numbers after the last . ) but a different domain name after ComputerName.domain.org ie.different domain.org
I hope this isn't too confusing. Just wondering if it was a stereotypical problem or it's a known quirk of how our IT guys set up the ip addresses of these stations.

Thanks,
S
