[QUOTE="blackheart42, post: 250476, member: 25694"] On your client system open C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with any text editor. Add an entry for your server with the name and IP address of the server in the form: <IP address of the server> <name of the server> Since there's only one entry and it's permanent, you have to give the server a fixed, static IP address rather than letting it request and be assigned a dynamic address like most workstations. The combination of this entry and the arp command I described in my previous message gives your client system everything it needs to know about who and where the server is on the network.
