Computer name / IP resolution

[Guest]

I've often found that some computers become unreachable in Hyena after they've rebooted and aquired a different IP number. Does Hyena depend on the workstation name resolution system or does it resolve names on its own?

This is all handled by Windows, so I would assume there must be a timing issue or something involved. Hyena doesn't resolve anything, but rather simply issues a call to retrieve information from ComputerABC. Windows takes care of figuring how where ComputerABC is, and retrieves data from it if found.

Thanks! I'll take a look at Windows!
