I've found Essential Net Tools from TamoSoft to be helpful in this. You can do a NetBIOS scan with a range of IP addresses to scan within and it will return the hostname and ip of the computer, as well as the MAC address and the workgroup they are joined to. Once these are all found, you have the ability to export the list to an HTML file or a CSV file, to do what you please. I found this software at http://www.tamos.com/products/nettools/ Hope this helps. Chris Harper Tech Support University Relations Michigan State University 1330 S.

While it hasn't yet reached a 1.0 release, it does seem to handle fairly well. It has great junk filtering, easy to configure filters, and a lot of other very handy features in a great interface. Mail is stored in standard mbox format, so very large mailboxes don't always respond terribly quickly to searches. I have run into some issues with upgrading, but nothing too difficult to deal with. As long as you store a backup copy of your profile, upgrades shouldn't be much of an issue. I've been recommending Thunderbird to quite a few people, (and Firefox too for that matter) and haven't hear any really major complaints yet. -Russell Peter J Murray wrote: > This is a continuation of yesterday's question, but I'm getting > frustrated with Outlook and it's little glitches, and people want spam > filtering.
