Where will I find the DHCP log?<br />
Is it possible to put some sort of alias on the hostname? When the net send msgbox arrived, it was not a name which you would normally see on the network.

Hi,<br />
<br />
&nbsp;if someone uses net send to send me a message, how can I find out who sent it? The person that did it is obviously using some sort of alias, but I can get the IP address pinging it.<br />
<br />
Cheers.<br />
