[dba-Tech] Task Manager

Depends on your router, on my Netgear DG834PN I can assign addresses to
specific PCs, then use DHCP to give out other addresses as needed.

This step needs to be changed slightly if you are using DHCP in your
router to assign IPs.

I just use the name of the PC to connect and my router does the
name->IP translation for me.

Or the computer name.

Mine change quite frequently depending on the order in which they are
powered on, that's why I use the computer name.

To get the computer name, just right click on the Myh Computer Icon on
your desktop, select Properties, click the Computer Name tab, and you
want the "Full Computer Name: from that tab.
