Discover Computer Name, IP Address

[David]

If I can see another computer c$ share using the computer name (like
\\bonnie\c$), is there a file I can open or a way I can discover the IP
address of the computer? Similarly, if I can see another computer c$ share
using an IP address (like \\192.168.246.88\c$), is there a file I can open
or a way I can discover the name of the computer?
Thanks in advance,
David

open a CMD prompt
type

ping bonnie

press enter

the machine will report its IP address

if you have the address as in your example
type

ping -a 192.168.246.88

and it'll report its name
