RouteFinder RF500S User Guide

Using the Find Computer command

If your clients are in different subnets or separated by a router, you will not be able to use the Find
Computer function within Windows by selecting Start | Find | Computer.

In the Find Computer dialog box, type the IP address of the computer you would like to find in the
Named field. If you choose a computer on a remote network, the network device will attempt to
establish a dial-up connection to the remote LAN based on settings entered in RouteFinder manager.
If you have entered the computer’s IP address and host name into your LMHosts file, you may enter
the computer’s host name, rather than the IP address in the

Named field (refer to the following

LMHosts section of this User Guide).

Note: If the computer you are attempting to access is on a remote LAN, you may need to press Find
Now
more than once while you wait for your network device to establish a dial-up connection to your
remote LAN.
