 PING requirements
hi,
while using the PING command I notice that the specific IP address must be used, is this by design? I get a positive result when I ping 10.65.10.5, but a negative result when pinging the same computer using the computer name CORPPAQ9518B. We would like to be able to use the computer name since the IP address could change over time but the computername will remain the same.
Or, could the $Machine$ system variable be resolved to an IP somehow? Can you suggest a way to do this?
Thanks,
Tom
