With any luck it's not in your hosts file on the PC but instead uses something called a dns or Domain Name Server. Any place with more than 3 clients on their net should have one. For example from my w2k client I click on Start, Settings, Network and Dial up connections, Local area connection, Properties, Internet Protocol, Properties, and then in the section "Use the following DNS server addresses" Rob Berendt -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

We would like to keep the existing IP address of the old box. In the Client Access workstation profile (*.ws file) there is an entry for the HostName. I am planning on doing a mass change of the host names on the PC's but I am looking for the file that associates the HostName with an IP address. Would this be the 'c:\windows\host' file?
