Unidentified Computer in DomainHello,
I just found an unidentified computer entry using "My Network Places". When I try to access it "\\XXX is not accessible ... The Network Path Was Not Found." DNS cannot resolve the name either. I believe that network places uses WINS to propagate it's list. How do I find out how this entry got there, where the comuter is, and how to remove it? Let me know any of your ideas. Thank you, DCA This list is made by Browser, wen browser refresh this list this machine is
deleted (if the machine dont send your anuncement). My english is terrible. :) []'s André Fagundes Show quoteHide quote "DCA" <D**@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:40A87A2B-8D7C-4C36-95FC-5F917719AA2D@microsoft.com... > Hello, > > I just found an unidentified computer entry using "My Network Places".

The possibilty that someone
from outside the network was plugged in is very unlikely and very scary. How can I find out more about this issue? Thank you both for your help.

All opinions expressed are those of myself unless stated so, and not of my employer, best friend, mother or cat. Let's be clear on that one! Check your dhcp leases to see what ip address it has and when it was
acquired. Next try and ping the computer to see if it is still connected.

I am no longer concerned with it being removed, but I am concerned with what, when, where, who, how, ect. Thank you once again.

no info to find on your network. It really becomes an issue that you may only be able to solve by continueing to monitor the network daily until you see the device reappear and can actually ping its ip address. Once you have that you may be able to trace it back to the port/switch that it is connected to and from there figure out where it is physically. How large of a network are we talking about?
