Our network uses the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP). How can we ensure that the program pings the computers properly and displays the correct state for the computers?
When adding computers to the map, enter the computers’ textual addresses (computer’s network name or DNS name) in the Host Address property. Thus, before the host is checked, its textual address will be converted into an IP address first, and only after that the host will undergo the checks. When adding computers to the map through scanning network neighborhood, the program will automatically add the computers’ names to the address fields, and you won’t have to take any extra actions. When adding computers through scanning an IP range, the found hostnames will be converted from IP addresses automatically. On the final step 4 of the Network Map Creation Wizard, choose to use DNS names for host addresses.
