I hope this hasn't been covered elsewhere, but the search engine wouldn't let me use 'IP' as a search term.

Does anyone know how to find the IP address on a windows server on a LAN? I know the server name, but for whatever reason I can't connect to it if I try the 'smb://server/share' method - I keep getting Error -36.

However, if I type the IP address of the server, I can access it just fine (go figure). The problem being, the IT goons changed the IP address of my main server and I can't find anyone around here to tell me what it is. Does anyone know how to hit a windows server on the LAN so I can get the IP address of it? I figured it'd be listed in the 'Properties' window, but no joy.

TIA.

if you use the Connect to Server box in the Go menu, you should be able to locate your server and clicking it should pop the IP into the Address box. Does that on my network at any rate.

That will only work if the server is on the same subnet. Mine is not...
