AI Thread Summary

To find the IP addresses of computers in a LAN while using Windows XP, users can utilize the command prompt. By executing the "ping" command followed by the computer name (e.g., "ping john800"), the system will resolve and display the corresponding IP address. Additionally, the "netstat" command can be employed to view active connections and associated IP addresses. These methods provide a straightforward way to identify IP addresses within a workgroup environment.

Thread 'Windows 10 Now Not Supported'

Well, the date has now passed, and Windows 10 is no longer supported. Hopefully, the readers of this forum have done one of the many ways this issue can be handled.
