hey just a quick question, someone said arp -a would show a list of ip
addresses on a network, this does not seem to do the trick.

anyone have any ideas?
basically what i have is a pc that i can only connect a crossover cable
to i need an ip address to vnc remotely to the pc.

but cannot find a command that would show me the ip address of the
other computer.
 
Hi Masked Ninja,

On one machine, set the adress of the nic card to 192.168.0.1 netmask
255.255.255.0.
On the other machine set the nic card to 192.168.0.2 netmask
255.255.255.0.

Set both machines to use a Workgroup, as opposed to using a domain. Set
the name of the workgroup to the same on both machines (recommended
MSHOME is ok.)

Plug your x-over cable in to the lan port of both machines.

Each machine should now be available in "My Network Places" on the
other machine.

Good luck

On the remote pc, open a command prompt and type:

ipconfig

It will show you the ip address of the pc.
