Thanks for the reactions,

This was a part of an examination of computer science, that I deed not know how the correct answer was. 

One of the question was: "How do you get the IP number of a PC, knowing only the computer name.......!!

Thanks Geek-9pm,

Wonder what book he is busing? The network commands in Windows are not the same as in a Unix system. Without that detail, the only thing I can tell him is to query the router. He probably will get the answer wrong.

Ping <computername> will resolve the IP address for named systems on a LAN.

Ping <computername> will resolve the IP address for named systems on a LAN.

That does work.
