I need to find the ip address of the server to which my network drive points to. consider the situation as that i dont know either the computer name or the ip address of the server. i just have the network drive in my computer.

Answer 1

Okay Network Device Identifaction Process

First go to each PC and right click on My Computer and select Properties. Windows 2000/9x users will need to get this info from the Control Panel/Network area.

Click on Identification. Some might see Netowkr Identification. Here you can obtain your PC's name. Don;t worry about the discription.

Next do like these fellas are telling you and click START/RUN and type in IPCONFIG and press enter.

This will issue you your IP address information.

Now repeat the process on all 5 machines.

Next, right click on the icon you use to access the Mapped Drive. Select Properties. Hopefully the path to the drive is in the box that pops up. If you know which computer holds the mapped drive then you are ahead of the game. You have already obtained it's info when you pulled the data per my instructions.
