Re: Can't see network computers

Chuck & Dan

After listing at all the computers (and IP addresses) using a program called
Look At LAN., I notice that somehow the LAN had (over the course of a day)
assigned the laptop 3 different IP address. I followed Dan's suggestion and
rebooted all the computers including the router and that appears to have
worked however it still seams to take a long time for the network to be
recognized.

My question is there a way to clear all the assigned IP addresses (from a
single computer) without having to go around and rebooting every system?


Thanks for you help, you guys are awesome.
