Hosts with dynamic IP addresses

[Kevin Keane]

Does your network use dynamic DNS by any chance? If you do, you could 
use the laptop's DNS name rather than its IP address.

You may also be able to use a script that enumerates all the machines in 
the network. On Windows, look into the commands "net view /Domain:xxxx" 
and nbtstat -c as some starting points (Samba also has similar commands)
