If you are impatient, like me, you can also check the NETBios settings, look in &quot;My Network&quot; and it will list all the computers it can see in the same subnet.<br />
Still Impatient?<br />
Try restarting the &quot;Network Connections&quot; via local script and psexec (if dynamic DNS is on)<br />
Even more impatient?<br />
Run a local script to query the registry for the DNS setting. &nbsp;Run it against every IP in the subnet.<br />
